Toast delivered by Sgt. Jerry Thomas during monsoon
season '65. We were in the Ky Ha enlisted club (tent on side of hill)
and all were wet, gooey and muddy. Jerry delivered it to brighten
up the night, it really struck a nerve at the time, and I wrote it down
for posterity.

LCpl. R. T. Tilley carrying rotor blade cradles to
one of the aircraft. Used every time a helo was parked in '65 because
the mat was too small for normal operations. After each mission the
blades and tail were folded and the aircraft parked nose to tail in "sardine"
fashion. The process was reversed for each launch. The only
ones not folded were the Med-Evac stand-by and chase aircraft.
