A comment about CW2 Hargrove from a crewchief in his unit.

"We were pulling out of a target attack once and you could feel the pressure on the rotor head and I said,"Salty, (He was a former Navy jet pilot) one of these days you're going to pull the rotor head off this S.O.B.,What are you going to do then?" He looked at me, grinned, winked, and said,"It starts with Our Father who art in heaven." I thought the world of him."
