Colonel Robert L. Howard MOH / The Drop

First Flight Squadron

Cliff/Tom/Ray: Gentlemen - Good Morning.


Attached find a picture that I received from a member of First Flight Squadron, (Roger Gibson) that supported 5th SFGp and MACVSOG in Vietnam. They are conducting a Reunion at the Orleans Hotel/Casino in April 2010 and are attempting to contact the CWO who assisted them in supporting us in order for him to join them.
I would appreciate it if you could place this picture on your respective nets and query folks to ascertain the whereabouts of CWO Jaznick (sic sp) and either have them contact me, or go directly to Roger.
Ray: Request you provide Roger a copy of our SOA Membership Application and Criteria for Membership. I understand in talking to Charles that First Flight is already on the SOA approved list, but with limitation on time, date, and area of support. He will pass to those eligible for SOA membership.
Regards,

Clyde,
I enjoyed talking with you today and appreciate you returning my call. I will contact the Nevada State Tax people as you suggested. Attached is the picture of most of the officers assigned to First Flight. Some were on duty somewhere when this November 1968 picture was taken. The officer in question is third from the right, second row. The only one in the Army uniform. He was a CWO and I believe his last name was Jaznick. This was taken on the roof of our villa in Nha Trang.
The Special Operations Command official magazine "Tip Of The Spear" can be seen at www.socom.mil.
The article on first Flight is on page 34, titled. "Vietnam's Most Secret Squadron". Let me know if you are unable to download it and I'll get you a copy. I would think that these people would be interested in joining your unit.
Talk to you later, Roger Gibson
