I think that we old Vietnam vets would expect LTC Charles Kettles to respond in this humble way on receiving the Medal of Honor,they were a special breed of men flying those Hueys where no sane person would go in an aircraft that was unarmored and had all of the aerodynamics of a brick when damaged by enemy fire.I for one loved the peculiar whap whap whap sound meaning you were getting a resupply,water, ammo and the orange bags of mail,and if you or your buddies were wounded they came and got you out or died trying,they will always be my Heroes.
