On September 1, 1965, a helicopter assault was made at Ky Ha, Republic of South Vietnam from the USS Princeton. Ky Ha would be the first home of MAG-36, which was comprised of UH-34 and UH-1E helicopters. The UH-1E squadron was VMO-6, home to be of the only Marine Corps Pilot, LtCol Stephen Wesley Pless, which earned the Medal of Honor in 1967.

I was with VMO-6 from 1965 to 1966.

Throughout the years since Vietnam, I have not come into many contacts with other Marines from my squadron. When I have, they have been silent for the most part. There is a reason, of course, and I can only surmise the worse. Willing, however, to communicate with anyone from VMO-6.
