Jr.'s accident 7-19-1966

An eye witness account to the last flight of the crew from the 119th. WO Jesus Dela Rosa Jr., WO1 Johnny Long, SP4 James M. Redelovage, MSG Leroy Barnes, passengers from the 1st Battalion 14th Infantry,25th Infantry Div. Task Force the (Golden Dragons), Capt. Raymond E. Johnson, 1st SGT Joshiiwa Nagato,Pilot of the L-19 Capt. Charles L. Getman of the 219th Av. Company. This website (http://1-14th.com/timeline-7-66T.htm) reveal my brothers last moments of his life. Jr. was hovering at 1,500 ft. when the wing of the plane sheared of the main rotor of the huey causing it to tumble to the ground and burst into flames, as seen through the eyes of Mr. Thomas A. Jones. He is now in my planning committee to construct the Ohio Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Park. I been in contact with the Johnson, and Getman families. This help to bring closure to them, and they were truly thankful. If anyone know's how I can get in touch with theses other families please let me, or Baby Huey know.
