      Are you referring to "Geronimos" as in the 205th Assault support Helicopter company, Chinook CH-47s ? I was in that unit 1968-69. Phu Loi near Bien Hua airbase.

    One of my best friends, Rodney Rubisoff, was a door gunner with the 101st out of Camp Evans, 1970-71. He sent me a pic of him at Camp Evans, Thanksgiving, 1970. Did y’all know him?
