Veterans Timmy and Tom 1966 - 67

Today I was watching the Military channel which got me to thinking about my brothers who fought in Vietnam, this weekend being the celebration of the Vet and all!  So I got out Timmys things and was meandering through them  These are some of his decorations!  The following are a few of his reviews;


WO McCoy has performed his duties in a superior manner. 

WO McCoy has been a fine pilot in this platoon.  He has undertaken all missions assigned and has accomplished them successfully   WO McCoy has over 600 combat flying hours during his first 5 months in the theater.  He is very conscientious about his duty and devotes his best efforts to his assignment.  WO McCoy is one of the mainstays of the company during his tour.

During 1966-67 WO McCoy has been assigned to the 2nd section of the 3rd airlift platoon 187th Aviation Company in a TOE Helicopter Pilot position serving in Southeast Asia.

Lt McCoy is an energetic officer who demonstrated a professional, inquiring mind. with a desire to learn.  His warm personality and pleasing manner made him well-liked by his associates.  His military manner and conduct set an excellent example for others to follow.

Timmy

The capability of an assault helicopter company to perform the demanding requirements placed upon it is directly related to it's maintenance program.  CPT McCoy has accepted this large responsibility  wrestled with the challenges of men and machines day and night, and in an outstanding manner successfully maintained  built, and sustained the maintenance program of this unit.  CPT McCoy's willingness to drive himself and lead his subordinates through example have been an inspiration to everyone he associates with in the fields of aircraft.  I recommend him for more responsibilities... Through personal example he inspired his personnel to perform difficult tasks enabling the company to fly an unprecedented flying program.  

Tom

Timmy served as a Green Beret he served two tours in Vietnam.  1966-1967 and 1971.  During both he served as a pilot; on the first occasion at warrant oficer rank, on the second at the rank of Captain.  32 air medals, 2 with valor; two distinguished Flying Crosses, a Purple Heart, Broze Star and Silver Star.  He flew uncounted missions was shot down twice.




I'm proud of you Timmy and as Veterans Day approaches I honor you, and our Brother Tom as you both served in VietNam together in 1971.
