These Airmen Were Paramedics With Detachment 9, 38th Air Rescue Squadron Based At Pleiku In 1967. Most Of Their Missions Were The Recovery Of Downed USAF Pilots, But They Were Occasionally Called To Assist With Army Patrols In Trouble. It Was On One Such Call When A2c Ortiz (Left) And A1c Ybara Were Hit By Heavy Automatic Weapons Fire And Their HH-43a Huskie Went Down. Joseph Ybara Was The Only KIA In The 38th During 1967-68.
