362nd Aviation Company Image courtesy of Carle Dunn	"The actual reason I wrote The Last Hookers is because of five, young men who paid the supreme sacrifice so that people of another nation could live free. I say this in the epilogue and explain some special, personal circumstances surrounding the tragic event." - LTC Carle E. Dunn, USA-Ret.

Intel indicated a heavy NVA buildup, across the border in Cambodia near Loch Ninh� / An Loc. We were�the only Hook unit remaining in 'Nam and in an exposed position directly in the path of an impending, heavy Spring Invasion of 1972.
