RECOVERY (1967-1968)
Our recovery team was responsible for picking up downed helicopters throughout the 4th Infantry Division Area of Operations.
SILVER WINGS
Gunslinger Music to Drink By:
With all due respect to our heroes of the Green Beret, we borrowed the music for our song. The idea of adding our own words to this song, came to us from Gunslingers who transferred in from aviation units along the coast.
Silver Wings upon our chest
We just fly above the best
We can make more dough this way
But we can’t wear, the Green Beret
A Gambler Gunship just went down
Our Buzzard Team is off the ground
Won’t be long and we’ll be there
To sling that bird into the air
Ice cold beer awaits for us
Back at Enari’s “E” Company
We just pray we are not shot down
So we can have another round.
Sergeant Gray’s looking for me
Something about those dam monkey’s
Wish that he would leave us alone
Cuz we'll soon be headed home
Our top hat cuts us no slack
He always needs more dam sandbags
They'll be no re-up for me
I’m headed home from this country.
