** One, a Master Sgt. was killed as he exited a LOH. He had not cleared the rotor blades when he stood up. The enemy is not the only ones who claim lives in this place. **
Ron, I'd appreciate knowing anything you have on this guy. The only "blade strike" case I knew of was a guy we were diverted to pull, I only found out his name several years ago, a LTC Sulenski. Dave Fogg has details on him, and as far as I can tell he lived; his name is not on the Wall.
If you have details on another one, I sure would appreciate getting whatever you have. A black grunt and I kept one alive for twenty minutes to MaryLou, and now I have no idea who it was; I thought it was Sulenski. Whoever it was, I was looking at his brain, that's all I know, and I am damned proud that he was still sucking wind when we hit MaryLou. (I was flying gunner for somebody else, no idea who, but I know I was in the right side door.) Maybe this MSG and not the LTC? I see him often, still. Poor bastard.
