John Parker
Vietnam | B Company, 4th Aviation Battalion, 4th Infantry Division
After his first tour was up, John Parker was allowed to come home to the US. Since he was returning with newfound knowledge on how to fly Cobras, he was instructed to go to Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah, Georgia to be a Cobra School training officer. In November of 1969, he was married and afterwards had his first son. This was quite interesting timing because this happened right before his second tour in Vietnam began. (5:35)
