More detail on this person: I served with
Howard Machado in Viet Nam, he served with A
Company, 15th Trans, 1st Air Cav Division during
1969-70 located at Long Thon (Bear Cat) and later
Phu Loi in III Corp. At that time he served as an
Aircraft Maintenance Officer. He was, I think
originally from Hawaii, and his father, Lionel D.
Machado was VP for Operations of Hawaiian
Airlines in the late 60's and early 70's. During
his tour I remember he went home to witness the
birth of his first child, Howard Michael Machado,
Jr. I found him to be a very family oriented,
caring officer and a gentleman in every aspect.
