Only The Best
Posted for: LORAN EDGAR SWEAT JR:
For a short time in 1966 I had the honor of flying with the 283rd Dustoff. Now, after over 40 years, it still hurts to think of the men the 283rd lost. You, and all the others, were the best of us. Thank you for giving the last full measure of duty. You'll always be in my prayers.
