Before hitting Kitzingen in March '67, I was with the 229th AHB, 3rd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division at An Khe from Oct '65 to Oct '66. I was a door gunner and crew chief on a UH1D "Slick". When I hit Kitzingen after OCS and Armored Officer School, I was attached to Bravo Company, 1-15th INF Mechanized. The 2nd Brigade CO needed a TDY gopher and choose me. I ended up with the 3rd Av, the 3-7 Cav in Schweinfurt, and other units. I have a copy of the original 3rd Aviation Company patch, but don't know how to place it on this site. Anyone who knows how can tell me. I think they'd get a rush seeing the old patch. Great to be strapped in with all you '"kids".
