I just posted the in memory book of my father sgt james m troyer if anyone remembers him i sure would like to hear from you. my dad died at 59 he had cancer all over his body . we know it was because of agent orange, though the milatary will never admitt it.
I didn't know your Father but yes he was a hero. And from you notes he was a great Dad (even more of a hero). My thoughts go out to you and the rest of the Sgt. James M. Troyer family. Thanks for posting the photos. Best BlueGhost Two-Zero Bob Drury
ReplyDeleteBelinda, Your album is great, thank you for posting it. Your Dad, James Troyer, was an original Blue Ghost, serving in both C Troop 7/17 Cavalry and F Troop 8th Cavalry at Chu Lai. He worked in the maintenance hanger on OH6-A helicopters, one of which is pictured in the photograph with him kneeling in front. That helicopter, #12969, was the first OH6 that I flew in Vietnam. The photograph was taken in December 1967 at the Ky Ha Heliport. We had very good mechanics that worked day and night to keep us flying and your Dad was one of them.
ReplyDeletethank you for letting me and my family know a little bit more about my dad. He was still a good machanic when he was alive. I am glad you remembered him. he is now at peace and not in pain anymore.
