More detail on this person: I am looking for
anyone that might remember serving with W.O.
Stanley R. Bozek. He served between '63 and '65 in
the 7th Airlift Platoon. He made it through the
war but died in 1973 flying to oil rigs in the
Gulf of Mexico. I am one of his sons and only have
vague memories and very few pictures. Anyone that
might have known him or who has pictures, I would
very much like to hear from you. Thank you and
God Bless America. This information was last updated 05/18/2016

Looking for someone who may have served with my
father in Vietnam of at PHI Helicopter inc. My
father flew the Huey in Vietnam and held the rank
of Chief warrant officer 02. Not sure what unit he
served in, waiting for the Army to send his DD-214
and medals. I'm also looking for patches that
would have been worn during that time by
helicopter pilots in Vietnam. I'm trying to make a
shadow box for my mother, of my Dad's medals and
ribbons from the Army.
