My cousin Harvey was a SAR pilot in Vietnam, and did at least two, possibly three, tours of duty. He trained at Ft. Benning about the same time that the AirCav was training. Next time I see him, I'll ask him if he knew Col. Moore and Sgt. Plumley.

I'd always thought Harvey was a Recon Helicopter pilot in Vietnam, but my brother told me last year that he was SAR, and flew helicopters and some small spotter planes, like the one depicted in the movie BAT 21. That astounded me, because the life expectancy of those guys wasn't that great. I think I read a few years ago that several SAR pilots were killed in the attempt to rescue Col. Hambleton, the officer about whom BAT 21 was made.

My Mama said that Harvey was an officer in the Third Armored Division during Gulf War I, and retired at the rank of Brigadier General not too long after that. He was still on active dury when x42 was President, because Mama said he had to escort x42 and Her Heinous around Frankfurt, I think it was, where the Division was based. Harvey wasn't impressed. ;o)
