Copy of email sent to Wetzel today:

Mister, I was a Huey crew chief in the 1st Flight Platoon of the 119th Assault Helicopter Company in January 1969.

Your hero friend Lowrey was not there.

We did not have any ship shot down on the day he claims to have been shot down.

We did not have anyone KIA on the day he claims they were KIA.

We did not have anyone in the company with the names he claims were KIA.

Your friend is full of shit. He is a liar.
