Dempsey L. Birmingham (Ret.), died of a heart
attack in Savannah, GA on January 29, 2005. He

in Vietnam with the 498th Medical Co (1970-71) and
A/227 1 CAV (1971). At the time of his death,

after Vietnam, but then returned to active duty
for a full career, mostly spent as a fixed wing
pilot. He was a great guy, an excellent aviator,
and more importantly a really good and decent
man.
