Change of Command and Change of Responsibility season — C/3-82 has it decorations up … their guidons are posted by the Blackhawk with care , in hopes that Saint Michael soon would be there ….

Congratulations and best of luck to both the incoming and outgoing First Sergeants and their families — if a CoC or CoR is in your units’ future be sure and leave out some Copenhagen and Monster drinks to avoid getting a fuel sample bottle full of jet A and weekend CQ.

Speaking of history books …

Rehearsals rehearsals rehearsals— the three proven ways to improve success in ex*****on of complex missions. Check out these men & women … getting after it !!!

By Joe - by Presidential proclamation, it’s a day to recognize military spouses, TODAY!!!

Military spouses can play such a huge role in the overall success … take a moment to honor or appreciate some great military spouse (or maybe evn your own) !!!

A Proclamation on Military Spouse Appreciation Day, 2023 | The White House The English poet John Milton wrote, “They also serve who only stand and wait.” Today, we honor the nearly one million military spouses who serve and strengthen our Nation alongside their loved ones in uniform. While navigating the many demands of life in a military family, they remain strong.....

Medal of Honor Day. Remember all who have received the highest award for valor. Never forget what service and sacrifice looks like.

Above and beyond the call of duty.

On we remember and honor more than 3,500 men and one woman who have received the nation’s highest military award for valor.

Thank you for your bravery, strength and service.

Spotted on the Eagle DUSTOFF page — please reach out to the POC below if you have any info or media you’d like to add …. Seems like a really GREAT IDEA in terms of “historical” DUSTOFF documentation.

:::From the Original Post:::

Thank you so much for the response to assist me in creating a historical presentation for Eagle/Shadow Dustoff here at Fort Campbell! Due to the numerous participants for interviews spread across the country geographically, I though it best to create a public Google Drive link where everyone can individually upload videos of themselves recalling their experiences with the company. Additionally, if you are camera shy I have a folder for written accounts and pictures that I will use for the slideshow presentation. One of the folders titled "2-17 Example Videos" includes sample videos that can be used as a guideline, but there really is no particular format. Combing through the historian binders at the company, I've found several oral transcripts of interviews and have enjoyed the harrowing mission stories to silly garrison training events to insight on the evolution of the medevac mission and equipment equally. More than ever, I believe these historical insights will be pivotal to shaping how current members view the dustoff mission and how lessons learned from the past can be applied to shaping medevac operations in a LSCO environment in the future. Thank you again for your participation!
