Vietnam DUSTOFF Pilot Who Saved 3,000 Earned Gold Medal Honor for MEDEVAC Crews
By then, he had flown over 3,000 casualties to safety during 11 months evacuating wounded soldiers from Vietnam's most dangerous battlefields. More than five decades later, the efforts of the Army DUSTOFF pilots in Vietnam are to be recognized with a Congressional Gold Medal.
