In Memory Of

Words from the Bible..........Fitting of a Helicopter Crew

PSALMS 91,VERSE 2 THROUGH 7

THIS I DECLARE,THAT HE ALONE,
IS MY REFUGE,MY PLACE OF SAFETY,
HE IS MY GOD,AND I AM TRUSTING.
FOR HE RESCUED YOU FROM EVERY TRAP,
PROTECTS YOU FROM THE FATAL PLAGUE.
HE WILL SHIELD YOU WITH HIS WINGS,
THEY WILL SHELTER YOU,
HIS FAITHFUL PROMISES ARE YOUR ARMOR.
NOW, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK ANY MORE,
NOR FEAR THE DANGERS OF THE DAY.
NOR DREAD THE PLAGUES OF DARKNESS,
NOR THE DISASTERS OF THE MORNING.
THOUGH A THOUSAND FALL AT MY SIDE,
THOUGH TEN THOUSAND ARE DYING AROUND ME,
EVIL WILL NOT TOUCH ME.

How true it is. Evil, never will, be able to touch the KIA.'s of the 129th AHC. To you...we dedicate this page

The details surrounding the Loss Incident of these four men, as stated by the U.S. Government, are still in question.
In March, 1990, the U.S. Government announced that the Vietnamese had discovered the remains of Dunlap, Sanderlin, Shanley, and Vanden Eykel; and that they had been returned to U.S. control. Only one of the four families has completely accepted the identification announcement.

For over twenty years, these men were prisoners of war - dead or alive.

Could they still be?
