They called themselves Seawolves....
The men of SEALs, PBRs, and SF called them saviors....
Created in 1967, the HAL-3 helicopter squadron -- aka Seawolves
-- provided quick-reaction close air support to SEALs, PBR River
Rats, and Special Forces advisers and their troops. During the five
years of the unit's existence, the seven detachments of Seawolves
amassed stunning statistics: 78,000 missions, 8,200 enemy kills,
8,700 sampans sunk, and 9,500 structures destroyed. These 200 men
collected a total of 17,339 medals.
This is the story of one of those men....
Taking enemy fire while braced against the rocket pod of a Huey
gunship and shooting an M-60 freehand in 110 mph winds was just
part of Dan Kelly's job in Vietnam. As a gunner in the
all-volunteer Seawolves, he served with distinction until three
bullets bought him a trip home. Here is his amazing story of the
Seawolves -- a harrowing tale of unsung heroism and undaunted
courage in combat.
