He was a cook before he joined the Marines and loved to talk about food. When I tell you these stories, I leave it up to you to believe what you want. I just take the pictures and tell you what they tell me. He was an officer helicopter pilot in the Marines and was flying in Veitnam with a crew of twenty when they were shot down. A large bomb exploded in front of his helicopter and the shock wave blew out his eye balls. Something about a flash of light also, but I couldnt understand it all. Before the bomb exploded they were hit hard by machine guns. When he turned around their machine gunner’s head had been shot off and his arms were still shooting the gun. Everybody died in the helicopter but him.
