Fellow Pilot and Classmate. For a Fellow Pilot and Classmate. I am making an effort to recognize all of my fallen classmates. There are many of you! It has been a long time since the days at Fort Rucker in Class 67-3. I remember how excited we were when we got those wings! I bet that you are looking down here and wondering what the pilots of today are thinking as they go off to war. No matter what anyone ever said about Vietnam, you died for a noble cause. You were called and you went! You are a Hero! Sincerely, Grant Bobbitt (CW2) Dustoff 102 - 254th Medical Detachment (Helicopter Air Ambulance) Playtex 70 - C Co. 159th ASSH CH-47 (Chinook) 101st Airborne Division, Airmobile. Grant Bobbitt
