Whispering Death
Whispering Death "Tuag Nco Ntsoov": ...Our Journey with the Hmong in the Secret War for Laos . . .
"Whispering Death . . . is a shattering account of an eighteen-year old aviator from the streets of America to Vietnam, into the Macomb world of a Secret War run by the CIA, fought with clandestine forces, the Hmong hill people, and a vast and varied air armada.
"This is a book that must be read . . . I highly recommend this book for knowledge of how the Secret War in Laos was fought and why we owe the Hmong so much."
Harry C. Aderholt - Brigadier General USAF, Ret.

George Carlin quote:

We're hearing a lot recently about big splashy memorial services. One of the "Band of Brothers" soldiers died on June 17, 2009 ? just 8 days before Michael Jackson ? and yet, no media coverage. I want a nationwide memorial service for Darrell "Shifty" Powers.

Since the Iraq War began in March 2003, veterans of the Vietnam War haven't said much. That is not a criticism. Nor is it a plea. It is only an observation made after five years of witnessing a war without end.

- Thanks so much for any help you can give me Bob, and thanks very much for your comment/email. I look forward to hearing from you again and I hope you will not mind when I respond if I ask you some questions I will try not to intrude too much as I understand that some memories are painful. I was able to contact another pilot, and he sent an email to some of the guys he knew in the Mohawk Association to see if anyone knew Bobby. Anything you can find out will be much appreciated. You are very kind, and I will not forget you for this. Patsy
