Remembering An American Hero
Dear 1LT Thomas James Chiminello, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter

Final Mission of U.S. Army helicopter UH-1D tail number 65-10123
The flight, consisting of aircraft commander 1LT Thomas J. Chiminello, co-pilot WO1 Forrest D. Rains Jr., crew chief SP5 Lawrence Lano, and medic SP5 Herbert C. Donaldson Jr., was on a night MEDEVAC when the aircraft crashed into the ground. Weather was a factor in this incident, with scattered thunderstorms, low ceilings, low visibility, and turbulence which contributed to crew disorientation. All crew members suffered fatal injuries in the crash. [Taken from vhpa.org]
