War Story:
The 119th AHC unit history states that Gator 624 was on the same mission as Gator 834 to Dak Seang to provide resupply airlifts and didn't have much of the Irish luck either. As the ship also received small arms fire and the pilot WO Roussell sustained a superficial wound on his leg from shrapnel, his CP, LT Tomlinson, SP4 Cardell, and SP4 Brown were not injured
