ATTENTION, PLEASE: IF YOU ARE NOT RECEIVING EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS: Many offical MAILCHIMP email signup contacts were removed due to bouncees/non–deliverability issues at the MasilChimp site. If you are one of those individuals or family members, and are not receiving email notifications, please revisit the email signup page and reenter/resubmit your request to be on the list of your choice. You may also email me direct to discuss your non–receipt of notifications, but the only way you will get onto the lists is via the signup method. Don Ricks, Editor

Our official point of contact for personnel information is Keeper-of-the-List, Donald M. Ricks (Editor). This position is available.

If you want an address of a friend, make changes to the roster, etc., just send Don an email:

(Don Ricks) donrix43@gmail.com

We have placed, where known, a job next to each name, but we are not sure of all of them (corrections welcomed). The list is only as good as your input and corrections.

• If there is an "A" (in the 3rd column), there is an address.
• If there is an "E," we have an email address.
• If there is a "P," we have a phone number.
• Personnel on the list with a red background are deceased. Some have Virtual Wall links to further describe their situation, if the were either MIA or KIA.
• Army and Marine AOs who flew backseat with the 220th Aviation Company have roster lines with shaded backgrounds in darker yellow, and Navy AOs and Flight Surgeons have shaded backgrounds in blue.
• Military wards above the Bronze Star, and special notations, if known, are indicated in the center field of an individual's line (e.g., Distinguished Service Cross (DSC), Silver Star (SS), Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC), with "Citation," if provided to the editor). These citation links ae blue and underlined.

The list grows and becomes better with each email asking us to add a name, so you can help out by bringing needed additions and corrections to the list. As we receive new addresses, etc., we will add them to this data base.

If you notice any incorrect information or want to add data or remove information, please submit the correct information to the editor. He will see that the changes are reflected on this page. Thanks for your assistance and input.

PHOTO THUMBNAILS FOR THE ROSTER: E-mail or mail to me any photo, preferably approximately 150 X 150 pixels, at 72 dpi, and I will post it on your line.

NOTE 1: Posted for: LLOYD TAYLOR RUGGE:

First Lt. Lloyd Taylor Rugge of North Hollywood, son of Herbert Rugge, a German emigrant, and Betty Smith Rugge. Rugge was a Boy Scout, attended the local schools and graduated from North Hollywood High School in 1959. He graduated from USC and entered the Army in 1965.

He took his basic training at Fort Ord in California. He did his officers' candidate training at Fort Sill in Oklahoma. He took flight training at Fort Rucker in Alabama.

He was sent to Vietnam, where he became a Bird Dog pilot, flying a single-engine Cessna O-1. The Bird Dog pilot flies with an observer looking for any enemy activity and then calls in air strikes or artillery or naval guns on the target.

On Jan. 26, 1967, Rugge, along with his observer Patrick O'Malley, received a radio message of trapped Marines being surrounded and pinned down. He flew 400 feet, dropping a rocket which did not release until too late, so Rugge circled to 200 feet. This time he hit his target, but the enemy opened up with three machine guns, hitting the Bird Dog. The plane crashed landed in a creek bed.

O'Malley got out with minor injuries, but Rugge was not so lucky. He had a broken leg and was pinned in. O'Malley finally got Rugge out and set him down by the creek. Soon, all hell broke out and O'Malley saw a grenade in the air and shouted to Rugge "Grenade" and O'Malley dived into the water under the Bird Dog.

He looked for Rugge, but he was nowhere to be found. O'Malley evaded capture and was rescued by a Huey. Rugge was listed as missing and possibly a prisoner of war.

The Army and Marines conducted an intense search and many men died looking for Rugge. Almost three months later, while sweeping and clearing small hamlets in another operation, the Marines came upon a small hamlet and a villager in broken English pointed to the jungle. The Marines followed the villager into the jungle, where they found a single grave that was later identified containing the remains of Rugge.

According to the villagers. the Vietcong had captured Rugge and brought him to the village, where he was put into a bamboo cage. He was put on trial, found guilty and sentenced to death. The Vietcong had the villagers dig his grave and watch—as he was executed.

Rugge was awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and the Air Medal, and the Purple Heart.

He is buried in Glen Haven Memorial Park Cemetery in Sylmar.

Larrie is my father's (Richard Hamil) brother. I never got to meet Larrie becuase he died three years before my birth. Unfortunatley, no family photos of Larrie exist today. All we have are his millitary medals. If any one has a picture they are willing to copy and share, please contact Anthony Hamil at: AUTHORIZED2@HOTMAIL.COM

NOTE 3: Posted for: RIK BILLING:

John Henrik Billing was wounded by a .51 cal while flying the DMZ [Editor: a plaque shows the date as 25 Feb. 1968]. The bullet entered the aircraft between his feet, snapped the stick in half right below the hand grip, and hit him right below the left collar bone. When it hit the stick, it got turned around and hit his flack vest butt-first. It tore a nice 6 inch gouge along the underside of his collar bone (Rik described it as a "nice beach scar") but didn't penetrate the inside layer of the flack vest. The following is what turned Rik into a local legend:

The impact of the .51 cal bullet completeley incapacitated his left arm (he told me later that he at first thought it was blown off) so his observer had to operate the throttle while Rik flew using a MUCH shorter stick back into Dong Ha. They taxied in, shut down and got out, just as a Corpsman came rushing up. The corpsman took one look inside Rik's flack jacket, sucked in his breath and stepped back. Rik pulled open his flack jacket with his right hand, and said, "Here, let me look at it....I've never seen a sucking chest wound before." He wound up on the Repose hospital ship in Da Nang harbor for just about two weeks and the day before it sailed to Japan, the Dr.s threw Billings off and returned him to duty. This REALLY pissed Billings off as he was hoping to finish his tour in Japan and go home.

The CO reassigned him to the 3rd platoon to do in-country check outs for a month or so until he rotated home. Rik was assigned to Ft. Rucker, married, got out in '70, went into business in Atlanta and passed away sometime in the 80's.
