Curious how many times you were awarded the Air Medal.

But really it was all about Flying in a Huey hours and hours day after day.
Wow. Award of the AM was supposed to be automatic for those who flew in the helos. My father was foot infantry but was awarded the AM with two oak leaf clusters just because of the time he was aloft.
But those flight wings had to be sweet.
My best helo memory was at Fort Carson. We rode and the pilot flew nap of the earth. Awesome!
Cheers
