More detail on this person: StrokeMy name is Gregory M Woodward, LtCol, USMCR. I am currently serving with I MEF in Camp Fallujah, Iraq. My Father CWO-4 Edward B. Woodward "Woody" retired in 1977, and died unexpectedly in 1990 of a stroke. He flew huey gunships with the 1/9, I think Bravo Troop, in Vietnam when the 1st Cav first went over by ship. I am writing a paper on Dad for his three grandchildren who never knew him, with the exception of my son who was 4 when he died.

I would like to contact anyone who flew with Dad, and would mind corresponding with me to provide information for myself and his grandchildren. He was awarded a Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross, Soldiers Medal, among others. He was also a tall lean farm boy from South Carolina, if that helps.
