War to a large degree, is a battle of machines and technology. The machines of war however are useless without the men who operated and maintained them. The technology of any age is no better than the men who make it work.

The 187th Assault Helicopter company was composed of the best America had to offer. Every individual, regardless of rank or job, was dedicated to the professional fulfillment of the mission.

The following is a list of those men who proudly served the needs of their nation and their fellow countrymen.

We are still missing a lot of names. If you belong on this list or know someone who does, please e-mail the webmaster . I have the last name of several men on the list and need help with the first names.
