I am very proud to have served with Paul Vedros in VP-1. I left the squadron after its first deployment to Vietnam in 1965, flying in Crew 1 out of Tan Son Nhut and Danang. I first heard of Vedros's death late 1966 and I was honored to be able to visit him at the Wall in 2005 and 2006 when I rode to Rolling Thunder to honor Paul Vedros and left him a note of thanks from a fellow squadron mate.
