Besides the war in the skies, some in our squadron fought a war on the ground
for the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese people. The good they did can still
be seen. They fought a war against ignorance and poverty with their knowledge,
back, and with supplies sent from loved ones at home.
At 2 Me Linh we find a striking example of this humanitarian concern. Major Carl Laubrich, Captain Bill Fenlon, and Staff Sergeant "Mac" McMaster earned the title "Bak Si" (doctor) for their ministrations to the sick and injured at their regular evening clinic. Nine-year-old Lin will never forget them. |
