Mr. Travers Goes To Washington.....

     On Tuesday 29 July, 2003 John Travers and company ascended the steps to the Capital Building with confidence and resolve.  A hearing  to determine the fate of the  issue held dear to their hearts was to be held before the Senate of the United States of America.  Three men were to testify, each with a different point of view, but all striving toward the same goal.  That goal is the official recognition of Dustoff medics and crews who served before, during, and after the Vietnam War.  The following links are to the official testimony given before the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs, chaired by Senator Arlen Specter (R -PA).   

CW4 (Ret) Michael Novosel -Dustoff Pilot, Medal of Honor Recipient.
