Just wanted to say that I miss Mike. We went to High School together and did some partying. He was the first person to befriend me when I moved into the area and that will never be forgotten. I see his sister occasionally but never bring up Mike. Mike was loved by many and for good reason, he loved everyone.

Miss You

Notes from The Virtual Wall

On 23 April 1971 a medevac flight from the 326th Medical Battalion (UH-1H tail number 66-16588) was downed by automatic weapons fire. One of the five crewmen died in the crash, and the other four men had to defend themselves from ground attack before they were rescued by friendly forces. Only two of the five survived:
  • CWO2 Frederic A Behrens, pilot, survived
  • 1LT Roger J Madison, copilot, survived
  • SP5 Michael Lee Brummer, crew chief, died in crash
  • SP5 Robert Fritz Speer, medic, shot to death 24 Apr 71
  • SP4 David Phillip Medina, crew chief, died of wounds 30 Apr 71
