Charlie Johnson: The WO Light Scout pilot that took the .30 cal round in his chicken plate was Darryl Gunn. Darryl's wife was living in St. Louis, MO where my wife was from and the two wives flew to Hawaii together to meet Darryl and me on R&R. He took that hit just a few days before we were scheduled to go on R&R leave about a week before Christmas 1967 and the doctors initially weren't going to let him out of the hospital to go on the long flight to Hawaii. Fortunately he talked them into releasing him from the hospital and he was able to go with me to Hawaii.
Heidi Ames: Sep 2010; Deryl K "Pete" Gunn was assigned to 3/4 Cav 25th ID in Vietnam. He was a scout pilot and recipient of the Purple Heart and DFC. He served many years as a flight instructor at Ft. Rucker. I was one of his students. I learned of his passing several months afterward. He is buried in the Veterans Cemetery at Ft. Mitchell, Georgia.
