We have heard that one our Commanders has recently lost his government
medical support. We are checking on the valitity of this information. We
are wondering if you have any information about Col Edwin Heller.

The stink has it that he downed a mig over China and unfortunately there
was some peace seeking committee that witnessed the whole thing. Well in
the process Col Heller himself got shot down. He was taken as a POW 
where like many others sustained torture that was unthinkable.

After all of that the US goverment saw fit to strip him of any citations
he had.
