Vietnam Veteran Reunites With Aircraft That Saved His Life
Arizona National Guard Public Affairs
May 9, 2024 | 2:46
U.S. Army Veteran Wayne Wasilk, a former door gunner during the Vietnam war, recounts the harrowing tale of rescuing six wounded soldiers during a special visit to the exact helicopter he flew, May 9, 2024 at Camp Navajo, AZ.
Wasilk and his crew braved motor shells and heavy fire during their rescue of six wounded soldiers from Firebase Ripcord. The helicopter, now serving as a memorial on Camp Navajo, stands as a testament to the bravery and resilience of military personnel, as well as the heroes of the Vietnam era. The music contained in this video is sourced from Soundstripe under a business subscription license. (U.S. Army video by Sgt. Carlos Parra)
