- DontosThat reminds me of a certificate that my Dad brought back from Vietnam in 1966. The wording was so 'cheesie', and its appearence was very officially put together, I asked him what it was for? Some deed "above and beyond...", NOPE . Single handedly defeating a far superior enemy force,.....NOPE .
The certificate was from a heavy assault chopper sqdn, in the 1st Cav. The Chinooks of that unit regularily conducted 'air bombardments' of enemy emplacements as well as H & I fire. The munitions,...??
55 gallon drums of 'FUGAS' (cheap mans napalm), rolled (or booted) out the back ramp of the Chinook.
My Dad rode along, and kicked fugas bombs out the back of a helicopter....!
