Re: Larry B. Greene HMM 262

Thanks for the notice and am real sorry about Greenie. I have sent out a copy of your post to the HMFIC of the HMM-262 Combat Veterans Group and have asked him to send out a mass e-mail. I was on the same op as him one day (Arizona Terr pacifier) when he took a round in his heel. I think it took off his heel. He was shot down in the LZ and my bird took over 30 rounds and ran out of fuel coming in to 1st Med Bn. Bad day all around
