My father, Harmon Dow, was Sgt. Major at Ft. Rucker for various tours, beginning in the late 1950s. He had a tour in Vietnam in the late 1960s, was Sgt. Major of one of the units there, & evidently flew as a door gunner in his free time. He died in 1991 - had a tracheotomy due to throat cancer & blamed it on Agent Orange. I have a winged torch flight pin that was among his effects, and a picture of him in Nam, armed to the teeth & standing in front of a copter. Another picture I have is of him pinned down on the beach at the landing in Salerno in 1943 - 70th anniversary coming up on Monday.
