At that point in the war, our helicopteres weren't allowed to have any fixed weapons. We just brought along M16s, AR15s and M79 grenade launchers. There were ROK (Korean) troops in our area that we flew in support of in addition to our own, and we had Korean translators with our unit to translate when their troops called in for a dustoff mission. So maybe I met your grand father.

Oh wow! That's awesome, maybe you did! I'm not too sure of the dates when he was there, but if you did.. that's just an awesome coincidence!
