'Gallant Young Men in Flying Machines' would describe this era of young helicopter pilots. Of our class...almost 30 percent were killed in the following 3 years. Rudy was full of energy and so very proud to be a helicopter pilot. He smiled often and enjoyed life. May he never be forgotten for having Lived and Loved in this world.

THANKS, FOR YOUR SACRIFICE
I hope you, like this poem: Sometimes, I wonder where, this all began, I search and search, to see, where it, all must end, A simple answer, is not, to be, Even though, it will set us free, Nights and days, of anguish, I'm sure you had, Fearing death and pain, must have been so sad, The desperation right, before your eyes, Could you see, the ending of this fight, Your sacrifice will, carry much afar, But why end it all, in this silly war, Your presence, I'am sure will, be so missed, For the calling, of the Lord, I'm sure was his, Many lives, were longed and spared along, But were they, thanked, coming home? Some came home, alive and died slow, in death, A full life, again, these hero's never had, So I wonder, if this war, will ever end, For our red, white and blue, you did defend, After coming back, I'am sure you, were wondering why? These freaks with long hair, were spititng in your eye, You say it's not fair, for I agree, It's because, of men like you, that we are free, This longhaired freaks were here, to argue and protest, They ran and hid, when it came time, to take the test, Little did they understood, you were fighting, so they could have all, this rights, When you joined the service, to end this fight, You left a trusting place, back at home, And you went, where heroes, always roam, Sad and grief, must be, in your loved ones face, For you have died, with honor and full of grace, Some, gave all and some, gave some, Seasons came and seasons gone, You are, the proud, the brave, the few, To fight this war, you had to do, For you, were fighting, for the Red, White and Blue.

I'm 16. I never met my uncle, as he died prior to my birth. Currently, in my English class, we are reading the book "Fallen Angels" and we have a project to "Find a Fallen Angel". I picked my uncle, of course, because he was the closest person I could find information about. It's funny, I know him better in records and computer logs than I ever did learning about him from my family, which is sad. Whenever I would ask my father about him, her would well up and not be able to speak. I find this whole thing tragic, one because I never got to even meet my uncle. Two, because the memory of him has been lost. After he died, my family pushed his memory away and never talked about him. I'm actually really glad that I am researching my uncle. It gives me a chance to actually find out what really happened instead of the lame "his helicopter was shot down" cop out. I really wish I had met him. Uncle Rudy, you're in my thoughts.

Fellow Cav Brother
If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep.for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile.Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine. Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine.and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.
