Yes. I worked with a SSgt, back in the mid-80s, whose dad was a chopper pilot over there. His dad told him, once they went into a hot LZ. On the way out, they took a bunch of fire, came down, jumped on another bird, which also took a lot of fire, and came down again.
He never elaborated on what happened after that, but he did survive the war.
They often don't want to talk about it. I had an Uncle who was aboard the Enterprise all during WW II. He would sometimes talk about the good times, but the bad times, nope.
It was the same with my grandfather in WW I. He let out a few interesting stories, non-combat related, but the rest, no.
My dad was Special Forces during Nam. He did at least three tours during the war. He didn’t get shot at a whole lot while he was there, due to his rank, but he had his fair share of encounters with the enemy.
That’s about all I’ve ever been able to get out of him in all these years. It’s just not something he likes to talk about, and at his age, I’m certainly not going to pressure him.
He’s written up his military memoirs in book form, and has asked me to read it when he’s gone. I’ve already read the early parts, but he’s never shown me that parts that contain his war experiences. Guess I’ll find out some day.
