Star-Spangled Inspirational Quote about SGT Londono:
"Daniel. Ill never forget you. You were my best friend part of my teenage years. You are the reason that im a musician and a stronger person. My love goes to the Londono family. Ill never forget you and all the goodtimes that we had. Im sorry that I didnt say goodbye. You influenced who I am today."
- Jason Vaz of Lynn, MA

​Ed Sweeney Jr. inspires us with his leadership - how he looked out for the welfare of his men:
Chief Warrant Officer Frank Glenn, a fellow Vietnam War scout helicopter pilot of Platoon Leader Ed Sweeney, repeated Captain Sweeney's directive to his 9 scout pilots, "Don't be a cowboy, don't take any unnecessary risks, no hot-dogging, and don't get your crew killed.  Your job is to return to base everyday."
