Posted on
For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday. Thank the Veterans who served in The United States Armed Forces.
As the medevac chopper landed the wounded were examined one by one. Staff Sergeant Benavidez could only hear what was going on around him. He had over thirty seven puncture wounds. His intestines were exposed. He could not see as his eyes were caked in blood and unable to open. Neither could he speak, his jaw broken, clubbed by a North Vietnamese rifle. But he knew what was happening, and it was the scariest moment of his life, even more so than the earlier events of the day. He lay in a body bag, bathed in his own blood. Jerry Cottingham, a friend screamed That s Benavidez. Get a doc . When the doctor arrived he placed his hand on Roy s chest to feel for a heartbeat. He pronounced him dead. The physician shook his head.

Requiem for the Dead (March 12, 2020) is the ultimate fictional revenge fantasy. A so-called CIA Operative is captured by the North Korean Government and the operative s father, an American general, asks the White House to intervene. The White House ignores the father s pleas. After his son is tortured for three years and finally murdered, the father s plot for revenge goes into hyper mode. His plan, to revenge his son s needless death, is to kidnap several of the children of high-ranking generals in the U.S. European Command in order to force the Army to implement a first-strike plan against North Korea: An attack that bypasses permission of the U.S. President. An American attack might cause China to enter the fray which would cause a global conflict.
Carl Gamble flew 244 combat missions dropping propaganda leaflets as an Air Force pilot in Vietnam from 1968-69. He still has nightmares about the fateful flight that led to his Distinguished Flying Cross.
âThatâs the only one where I ever got hit by enemy ground fire. Out of 244 missions, thatâs the one,â the Madison native said.
March 1, 1969, seemed like just another day for the 9th Special Operations Squadron out of Da Nang. The special operations pilots, including Capt. Gamble, would fly missions to drop leaflets telling the enemy to give up and turn in their rifles for food. Other pilots used the C-47 airplanes as gunships for air-to-ground attacks and for electronic jamming.
