I'm not big on reliving the war but have to admit getting a charge out of seeing my old bird on a Vietnam show the other evening. Was only half-assed paying attention when it occurred to me they'd just shown a OH-58 with a light colored tail fin, which there only being six of which in country at the time, '71, and mine being the only one with a primer (lime) green tail fin I refused to paint, I'm thinking it had to be us.
As for the tribute, it's the grunts who most deserve that.
