            <title>&quot;How did you spend Christmas on your tour?&quot;</title>
            <description><![CDATA[...was the topic on our VietVet helicopter crew forum. Aside from the couple of &ldquo;Which one?&rdquo; and &ldquo;Getting&rsquo; shot at, same as everybody else,&rdquo; pretty much every one of us had a variation on the same story.Here&rsquo;s mine.Got up before dawn and stumbled out to preflight in the dark (there was a One-Shot Charlie who earned his pay by plinking at pilots preflighting the mast and the rotor head). Finished up and met up with the rest of the crew at breakfast, where we grabbed our cans of lunch and filled our canteens with the colored sugar-water (&ldquo;What flavor is...]]></description>

                <![CDATA[Christmas 1953 . . Worked midnight to 8AM as a USAF Radio Operator in the Univ of Seoul Medical School in downtown Seoul.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
Slept until noon Xmas Day, 9 to a 10 X 20 classroom, in the Univ of Seoul Music School building in Yong-Dong-Po.&nbsp; Sleep was interupted by an air raid by &quot;Bed Check Charlie&quot; dropping mortar shells in our motor pool (soccer field) from his old bi-plane.&nbsp; He damaged a couple of trucks while we lay in a trench on a hillside and watched.&nbsp; Stayed up and had canned turkey dinner, got a gift box from the Salvation Army and went back to work about 11 PM.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
It was my 14th day in Korea.&nbsp; To my knowledge Christmas Day was the last air raid of the Korean War.<br />
Super-sonic fighter jets trying to shoot down a 65 MPH bi-plane at 200 feet altitude&nbsp; is an amusing sight.<br />]]>
