Georgia Chapter of the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association

On Labor Day 2002 American Legion Post 201 of Alpharetta, GA dedicated a UH-1H which flew in Vietnam from 1968 till 1971.  One of our own, Terry Garlock was requested to speak at the dedication.  The title for his talk was "Common Virtue " where Terry describes that others may look at this restored aircraft and see just an old retired helicopter.  But not me.   I see what’s best about America.   This aircraft and crew were asked to perform a "Medivac" into the Hue Citadel during Tet of 68.  The aircraft commander was awarded the "Congressional Medal of Honor" for that particular mission.  The aircraft flew in Vietnam from 68 -71 and was retired from active service in 2000 having flown in Italy and Ethiopia.
