kanemono Posted May 30, 2015 Share #26 Posted May 30, 2015 Robert, this is a fantastic group. I am sure some of his grandchildren would be horrified, however, some would be saying "WAY TO GO GRANDPA!" Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Barickman Posted May 31, 2015 Share #27 Posted May 31, 2015 Great story and research Robert, seems more likely he would have been in one of the sea services!! I know as I was one. Great stuff, Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam R Posted November 14, 2015 Share #33 Posted November 14, 2015 What's not recorded in this story is that there was a Navy corpsman assigned to the hospital where Estey was taken and who treated him there. This is his Good Condut Medal. Hard to believe, butt it's true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1SG_1st_Cav Posted November 15, 2015 Share #35 Posted November 15, 2015 LTC Etsey should have received an OLC to his Silver Star for throwing his body over a civilian to keep her from being mortally wounded by the flying glass caused by the BUZZ Bomb. Butt that would have really started a shinola STORM! Butt we'll just have to guess why that never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
