LOCAL AUTHOR, H. D. GUTHRE, JUST RELEASE A NOVEL TITLED "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN" THAT THE MILITARY WRITER'S SOCIETY OF AMERICA, PRESENTED HIM WITH IT'S HIGHEST AWARD, (A FIVE GOLD STAR REVIEW)
The book is a heart wrenching account about the exploits of the "Dust off Medics" during the Vietnam war who risked their own lives on a daily basis to extract seriously wounded from the battle fields of Vietnam. The Army accomplished these extractions using Huey helicopters that landed under unbelievable enemy fire and hostile conditions. The pilots held the ship at a hover the entire time, while the medic jumped from the chopper to retrieve the wounded by carrying or dragging them back to the ship.
There have been many books written by pilots who commanded these Dust off Helicopters, but only a paucity of them by 'Dust off Medics" who's life expectancy during these missions was that of a pair of love bugs on Interstate 10!
THE BOOK CAN BE PURCHASED BY CALLING 1-888-280-7715, or via any of the major book stores in the area. For signed copies, ($20.00) call the author at 850-267-0263 or 850-217-2230 between 9AM and 4PM Monday through Friday.
