I will not be at the 2015 reunion. Have a great time.
I just wanted to "thank" everyone who served! My Dad, John Vicente,was a "Black Cat", and I could'to be more proud! If anyone knows/served with my Dad, I would love to here from you: christinav_24@hotmail.com. God bles!
Sending a tribute on this day to all those we lost. The only one I really remember is George Moore. Prayers for all our fallen brothers, may they Rest IN Peace.
Hi, I just found this wonderful site. My brother was Mark Cowles, known as "Ozzie". He was a 282nd Assault Hellicopter Pilot, Chief Warrant Officer 2. He was in Danang from Dec. '70 - March '71. This plaque I have says Alley Cat 7. Mark died in 2005 from multiple health issues stemming from his time in VietNam. If anyone remembers Mark, please e-mail me!
I don't know if Mark knew about this site. It is so wonderful that you men can stay in touch and talk about your expierences. That would have helped Mark.
Thank you for your service - all that you endured in VietNam and to this day.
God Bless You, Marcia Schoonover
Marcia, Please email me with more information on your brother, I am the president of the 282nd Black Cat Association. I will post your wishes in our next news letter for anyone who served with your brother in Viet Nam. On behalf of the 282nd we are sorry to hear of your loss.

The beginning of May a fellow Vietnam Veteran in the mid-west started the online "Vietnam Vets Radio" station. Vietnam era music is played 24 / 7 with authentic jingles and public service announcements played on AFVN. Remember "Chicken Man"??
At 8 pm CST (9 pm EST) is "Party Time" a song request show. It really is pretty good, especially the request show. http://vietnamvetradio.com/
Just a message to those that served with the 282nd ahc. I presently own and invite all to see my UH-1C Huey tail #78 bu#15078
Thank you all for your service. And God bless!
