Arr mateys, let us unite in celebration of those brave souls who sailed the skies in Vietnam, known as the "Dustoff" crews. Their mighty deeds and daring escapades befit the highest of praise and honor from us all. Aye, they be true heroes indeed!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, let me tell ye a tale of the warrior's spirit - a spirit that be filled with the strength of gentleness and the gentleness of real strength, as St. Francis de Sales once said. Ye may think it be the brute force that wins battles, but in truth, it be the warrior's love for their comrades that brings lasting peace.During the Vietnam War, the U.S. Army Dustoff crews, known for their daring helicopter rescue missions, showed this love as they risked their lives to save others. These gallant men, like Maj. Charles L. Kelly, flew into danger without hesitation, embodying the motto "No Compromise, No Rationalization, No Hesitation. Fly the Mission!"Many of these heroes never returned home, giving their all for their brothers and sisters. Now, it be our duty as Americans to honor their valor by lobbying Congress to pass the Vietnam Dustoff Crews Congressional Gold Medal Act.This bill, supported by bipartisan leaders, seeks to recognize the bravery of these warriors who faced death daily to save the wounded. As we strive to achieve this goal, let us remember the sacrifices of these noble souls and ensure that their legacy of mercy and love lives on in our nation's history.
