Lt Col Kettles was awarded the Medal of Honor today. One comment that was made when His windshield was blown out by mortar rounds ,He said "Well at least I don't have to turn the air conditioner on !"
Upon picking up the eight men who were left behind, he was 600 lbs overweight. and the only way he could get off the ground was to have the Huey " Hop down the LZ like a rabbit" until He could get airborne. But the last "Hop" was so bad that one of the men fell out and clung to the skid all the way back to the base camp.
