Wore my AFOUA with V Monday for Veterans Day. Thought about the guys who died so young and just wanted to do a good job. Cannot stop thinking the Navy Admiral quoted in the Wikipedia article owes us an apology. Sounded like he was trying to blame the Air Force general for the screw up at the island when the crew had already been released. We were just doing our job and were proud to help the Marines who had to land on the island. We could have jumped onto an empty ship just as easy as the Admirals marines who stepped over to it from the destroyer escort that pulled up next to it. Nobody knew where the crew went or who, if anybody, was on the ship at the time. The Air Force general sent good gunship crews onto the island who deserve to be thanked by that navy Admiral if he is still alive and actually said what he was quoted to say. The navy fighter pilots did a great job just like the air force pilots. What was wrong with sending air force gunship pilots? Hard to believe he said what he is reported to have allegedly said about using the Air Force when the marines were so far away when it started. It would have cost a lot less if the commander of 7th Air Force had out ranked that Fleet Admiral. Thanks to all the sailors who helped. Too bad your commander sounded like a jerk. We had jerks around sometimes too. God bless

38 Years have passed by since the brave men of the USS Henry B. Wilson (DDG-7) risks their lives to provide much needed Naval Gunfire Support and Rescue Missions for downed aircrew personnel.
Unfortunately the Navy has never recognized these Brave and Heroic efforts with a Combat Action Ribbon; even after All of this Historic Documentation! What a Shame!
