Instead he found himself in the dangerous door gunner position and, soon after, the crew chief aboard a CH-47 Chinook, 15 miles from the DMZ in 1967 and 1968.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Assigned to the famed 1st Cavalry Division, Corlew was shot down three times: in the Battle of Hue, the Battle of Quang Tri, and the A Shau Valley. This memoir began both as a journal and as counselor-recommended therapy for PTSD. He earned four bronze service stars for his service (an estimated 1000 flying hours) during the war''s bloodiest year, enduring enemy mortar and rocket attacks. Engaging, frank, and full of action, Corlew describes his many combat experiences as well as the emotional effects--all through the lens of his Christian faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eOne—Family Life\u003cbr\u003eTwo—Induction Into the Army\u003cbr\u003eThree—­CH-47 Chinook Helicopter\u003cbr\u003eFour—Vietnam Duty\u003cbr\u003eFive—Crew Chief and Door Gunner\u003cbr\u003eSix—Move to Red Beach\u003cbr\u003eSeven—The 1968 Tet Offensive\u003cbr\u003eEight—The Chinook Gunship: \"Guns ­A-Go-Go\"\u003cbr\u003eNine—Move to LZ Sharon and Operation Pegasus\u003cbr\u003eTen—Operation Delaware\u003cbr\u003eEleven—Life at LZ Sharon\u003cbr\u003eTwelve—Return to the United States\u003cbr\u003eThirteen—Marriage and Family Life\u003cbr\u003eFourteen—Veteran's Opinion and Our Distress\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\u003cbr\u003eMilitary Service History\u003cbr\u003eChapter Notes\u003cbr\u003eIndex","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50515848134999,"sku":"9781476684178","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476684178.jpg?v=1745428064","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/vietnam-by-chinook-9781476684178","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
