seanmc1114 Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share #277 Posted May 28, 2020 The photo captions reads as follows: Major General Raymond Odinero, left, the 4th Infantry Division Commander, gives the commissioning oath to Captain Heidi Potter, the 506th Air Expeditionary Group (AEG), Protocol Officer at Kirkuk Air Base (AB), Iraq, during Operation IRAQI FREEDOM" I'm not sure of the significance of the AIRBORNE tab with the 4th ID SSI. Maybe the HQ of a LRRP unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted August 11, 2020 Share #280 Posted August 11, 2020 The Americal patch on the nose of the Divisional Commander's C&C Bird, the Chopper crashed on 16 November 1968 with all aboard, at this time commander was Maj Gen Charles Gettys. Don't know if it was shot down or had mechanical problems, but that's Colin Powell, then Major and Americal Divisional G-3 standing there off to the side, he was riding in it when it went down, and once on the ground, despite being hurt himself, rescued three of the crew and or fellow passengers that were apparently all injured, to include Gettys. https://valor.militarytimes.com/hero/100351#51967 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted August 23, 2020 Share #282 Posted August 23, 2020 V Corps on the door of an Huey in 1967, 66th Avn Co. It's a early version with the full color markings as seen in the early 60s, perhaps UH 1A UH1B or a UH 1C, we guess Avn units outside South Vietnam used the early Hueys a lot longer, the new Hueys IE the UH 1D UH 1H reserved for service in South Vietnam.
