I served with Charlie Co., 3rd/22nd infantry, 25th Infantry Division. We witnessed the downing of Capt. Denny's helicopter. I am still haunted by the helplessness of the guys in our unit as we saw it go down. The chopper was flying in to drop chemicals on the NVA soldiers who were massed in that location. They were attempting to minimize casualties in our ground unit and I thank them for their heroism.
