Battalion This page is in
honor of the many sacrifices the men of the Diamondheads and Little Bears
made. Many made the ultimate sacrifice. For those this page is my way of
saying thank you, for a job well done. For everyone else and the many heroic
deeds they did, this is my way of giving to those who gave so much for me.
Maybe it will serve as a gathering place for remembrances that in some way
will help the healing process.

227th
Company A, Assault Helicopter Battalion,
1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile)
A/227 was a helicopter "slick" company - troop carrying
helicopters were called "slicks" because they had little armament which
differentiated them from armed helicopters or "guns". Each unit had their
own callsign for identification over the radio. The
callsign
for A/227 was "Chickenman". This callsign would identify individuals or
aircraft as belonging to A/227. The callsign was a source of pride and honor
- and humor if you remember the radio serial broadcast in 1968 about the
adventures of Benton Harbor AKA Chickenman - the great white winged warrior.

The 238th
Aerial Weapons Company served in Viet Nam as part of the 1st Aviation
Brigade. During most of that time, it was stationed at Phu Hiep, near the
air base at Tuy Hoa or on the airbase. The unit was an all gunship company
and was normally assigned as general support for II Corps. During early
1971, the unit was moved to Dong Ha, near the DMZ, and took part in the Lam
Son 719 operations in Laos. The four "flashes" around the outside of the
patch indicate the areas the unit operated in. II Corps, our normal
operations area, Cambodia, during early 1970 when U.S. units went into
Cambodia near Plieku, I Corps during the lead up to Lam Son 719, and Laos
during that operation. All of those operations were flown in the "Bravo" and
"Charlie" model Huey gunship. In mid 1971, the unit converted to the AH1G
Cobra, and flew that aircraft until it was withdrawn.
