More detail on this person: Auto accident
caused by drunk driver in 1976. Logged almost
5000 hours in Vietnam. Mrs. Walter Alwin mother
of Capt. Scott R. Alwin, 14575 Naugart Dr.,
Athens, WI 54411
Our son Scott flew helicopters in Nam for five and
a half years. I long to hear something from those
men he flew with. Killed by a drunk driver
shortly after being appointed to the War College
on his way up to Washington D. C. by a fellow
committing suicide. Scott had 207 air medals,
DFC, purple hearts, Vietnam Repubic medals. etc.
all with oakleaf clusters. Please--did you know
our Scott?
Scott was in the 68th from mid 67 thru mid 70
continuously except for his extension leaves.
returned to VN in Jan 71 in the 119th AHC for at
least an additional year. He was probably the
highest time aviator in the war. I have not heard
of anyone who can top his stats.
