I am an old Alaskan who was in Vietnam and Desert Storm. I retired in 1992.

I was a Dust Off pilot in both those conflicts. Am a life member of VFW and DAV. My E-mail address is pbear@sinbad.net.

My dates in Nam were Sep 14,71 through Sep 15,72. I was with the 247th Med Det based out of Phan Rang and Nha Trang with satellite sites at Whiskey Mountain, Dalat, BanMeThuot, Pleiku, and Phu Hep.

The last 6 mo in country we carried almost all Korean infantry, VC, and NVA (the latter two were pows). My nick name in the military was Polar Bear--because I was from Alaska. ken
