COMBAT STORIES FROM Vietnam

Tom Morrissey | 117th Assault Helicopter Company - Army

4:41   |   Tom Morrissey was never shot down but on one mission his Huey lost hydraulics and had to make a forced landing. Fortunately, it was in the soft mud of a rice paddy and, fortunately as well, he was transporting a SEAL team so he had plenty of security. A repair crew came and fixed his ship right on the spot.
