A Note from The Virtual Wall

The 54th Medical Detachment (Helicopter Ambulance) arrived at Chu Lai in the southern I Corps Zone in August 1967, immediately began combat training with the 498th Medical Company, and became operational on 25 September 1967. It supported the 23rd Infantry (Americal) Division, the Army's largest. The southern I Corps Zone proved to be one of the most hotly contested in South Vietnam, and the 54th soon amassed an enviable record of honorable and dedicated support.
On 18 October 1968, two men of the 54th Med died when their UH-1 helicopter was shot down during a medevac mission:

WO1 Timothy Cole, Jr., aircraft commander, and
SP4 Victor Reyes Hernandez, crew chief.
