ALL: ** OFF TOPIC**. Jerard Pearson "PJ" has been silent on this thread for awhile. I have some info. that may be of interest. On Nov. 19, "PJ" was in attendance at the Arlington National Cemetery for the burial of the crew of the Jolly Green 67 helicopter: the remains of seven American servicemen previously unaccounted for from the Vietnam War were located and returned to the US for burial.

On April 6, 1972 the Jolly 67 was on a search-and-rescue mission when it crashed and burned after being severely hit by enemy fire. That mission was the largest sustained recue operation of the war; it resulted from an attempt to rescue numerous crewmembers from several planes and helicopters downed over a 4 day period. Over 900 airstrikes, to include B-52s, were put into direct support. Numerous helicopters, A-1s and forward air controller aircraft were shot down or damaged. A total of eleven men were killed.

But the Jolly 67 mission was done in the best traditions of the rescue forces. Their motto: It is my duty as a Pararescueman to save life and aid the injured. I will be prepared at all times to perform my assigned duties quickly and efficiently, placing these duties before personal desires and comforts. These things I do that others may live."

One of the Air Force personnel killed in the Jolly 67 crash was a Sgt. William R. Pearson (PJ), Webster, NH, (relationship unkown). Jerard J. Pearson ("PJ") was also a Pararescueman that served in that war.

I hope this info. is taken in the kind spirit that is is offered.

Gary
