Entry: 82333 6TH TRANSPORTATION CO (HELO)	FOUND A FEW NAMES FROM THE 6TH
JAMES LINDBLOOM wrote on March 3, 2012 City and State: CALDWELL ID Unit: Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: I found a few more names: I treasure the experience in Japan ... what an eye opener for me. At that time only 11 years had passed since the end of WWII .... we were just kids then. I don't remember many of the names but after going back through some of my old photo albums I found these names under some of the pictures. Bob Wong (a good buddy and a Golden Gloves boxer from NJ or NY), Roy Zavitz (another good friend), John ? (a good buddy from Clearwater, Florida), Bernie Greiner a Catholic (and faithful) kid from Batavia, NY, Medico, Gleason, Johnson, Pappy, Tiny (obviously a nickname), John Schauffhauser, Marlon Hill, Frank Tacik, Tony Ciepola ??, Platt, Friess, Dolf, Zeke (crew chief I think), Zellers, Jezek, Newborg, Trankle, Mallory, Adams & Farmer (Warrant Officers), Ratasep (Crew Chief), Daniels, Robbie, Huntly, Horton, Lee, Pandora, Nash, Weston, Parsons, Hill, Mercardo (otherwise know as The World by Roy Zavitz because when he talked to him he had always been there and done that .. :^)), Floray, Austin, Laurence, Rollin, Buss, Laurent, Slover (Crew Chief). Well, guess I had more names written down than I thought. When the 6th split up in 1958 half went to Korea and the rest went to Hawaii ... and I was in the unit that went to Hawaii. I also saw in some of the old pictures the name of our camp, which I had forgotten .... Camp Bender.

SHERRILL STROTHMAN wrote on June 6, 2010 City and State: SIMI VALLEY Unit: 6TH HELICOPTER CO, JAPAN/KOREA 1958 - 9 Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: I was first stationed (shortly) in Japan with the 6th and then in Korea. If my memory is correct the company commander was Major Hodges? I was crew chief on H21 #65. I got to fly all over Korea and to the south island of Jeju-do. When Major Hodges transferred back to the US we had a fly by of 21 helicopters when he was at Kimpo Air Base. This was a memory I will never forget. I have many pictures of my Army experiences in Korea. I think I recall some of the names you have mentioned. I was the age of 19 and what good memories I have serving with some of the best. I was later assigned to the 94th Helicopter company in Fort Benning and was released from the Army in May, 1960. Keywords: Crew Chief on H21 #65.
