More detail on this person: Found the 281st website while I was researching my uncles tour in vietnam. His name is WO1 Robert A. Johnson. He passed away in June of 2004 at 70 yrs. I have him as a member of the 145th airlift platoon in Jan. 1966. Believe his tour started last half of 1965 thru last half of 1966.

What I have is 2 awards orders, one for a Air medal w/V (tenth OLC) for the 28th of Jan 1966 and a Distinguished Flying Cross for 29 Jan 1966. These were awarded for support of Project Delta during Opeation Masher. Your Morning report has him listed as unknown with no unit, thought you would like to know. I am a 26 year veteran in Army Aviation, started on the UH-1H then AH-1E The AH64A and now work on AH64Ds. I have attached a photo I found on this website he is the one on the far left side.

From: 1SG Christopher M. Johnson, 8-229th Aviation Regiment, "Flying Tigers", Ft. Knox, Ky.
