  • Via The Jimmy Graham Foundation: A glimpse of a story that’s been 52 years in the making. It was an honor to hear Vietnam Veteran Steve Crawford share his stories from the past, and reconnect this Crew Chief with a flight in our Huey that shared the skies during his time with the 170th Assault Helicopter Company (AHC). Thank you to Steve for a memorable flight in the bird and to all of our veterans for their sacrifice and courage to serve.

    Wow! I've studied the Vietnam War for over forty years. This is, perhaps the most humble man I've seen interviewed who fought that conflict. There's never been a more deserving person to be gifted with being allowed to relive his past! We're glad you made it home, Steve. Sorry you lost your friends.

    Sorry, respect this guy, just found this funny, sure it was just a slip of the tongue but he said "first time I've seen one in 52 years and first time I've been in one in 51 years." So apparently the last time he was in it he had his eyes closed :p
