A Get Active in Nature (GAIN)
program will be held at the Lime
Creek Nature Center Tuesday, Sept. 8
at 4 p.m.
“Tagging Monarch Butterflies” is
the theme for the activity. Children
and adults will enjoy catching and
tagging monarchs as they make their
migratory journey to Mexico. Tagging allows biologists to monitor
monarch movements and population
trends. Monarch numbers have been
steadily declining, so tagging efforts
have become even more important.
GAIN is an ongoing nature center
program of active, outdoor activities for children and their parents or
guardians. There is no charge, but
registration is required – call 641-4235309.

“The most unbelievable rush”
Veterans reunite for first ride in Huey since Vietnam service 46 years ago
M
BY KELLY MCGOWAN
ore than four decades had
passed since they left Vietnam,
but when eight “Charlie Rangers” soldiers reunited for Operation Landing Zone (LZ) last weekend, they felt
like kids again.
Their homes are scattered across the country, and one thing brought them together for this
weekend; a chance to ride in a Huey helicopter
one more time.
The Bell UH-1 Iroquois, known as a Huey,
was a low-flying aircraft that became a symbol
of the Vietnam War and holds memories for those
who flew in them.
“They were like our horse of war,” said veteran
Darren Gibson. “They took us into battle and took
us out.”
The veterans that reunited at Dennis Rognes’
farm home in Lake Mills were from two platoons
within the Charlie Company.
They were Rognes; John “Horn” Bentler, of
Cedar Rapids; Bob “Rock” Hill, of Wisconsin;
Darrel Gibson, of Kansas; Ed Kral, of Idaho; Ken
Hester, of Washington; Thomas “Biz” Bissenden,
of Michigan; and Tony Sparaco, of New York.
Bill Clark, friend and “adopted member” of the
group, served as a Marine in Vietnam and lives in
Lake Mills.
The group started reuniting in 2006 via the 5th
Battalion, 60th Infantry Association web site.
Reuniting was an awakening experience, Gibson said, and a chance to unearth decades of buried memories and feelings.
“It was the best therapy any of us had,” he said.
Though they talked about their adult lives, Hill
said the reunions felt “like a bunch of 19-year-
old kids together.” Their closeness, he said, came
from having their lives depend on one another.
“When you see death up close, it creates a
bond,”Hill said. “There isn’t a thing we wouldn’t
do for each other.”
It wasn’t long after the first reunion that the
shared dream of riding in a Huey again came
about. A year ago, Rognes learned that there
would be rides at Operation LZ, and the group
was on board right away.
“When you’re 18 to 21 years old, [riding in
a Huey] is the most unbelievable rush,” Rognes
said. “You’re just skimming over the trees with
your legs hanging out. You don’t really know if
you’re coming back or not, but you don’t really
think about it because you’re young and invincible.”
The group shared a nervous anticipation to relive those memories.
“There were times I felt very little fear,” Bissenden said. “And there were times I didn’t know
if I’d make it. I didn’t always feel bulletproof, but
sometimes I did.”
Friday afternoon, the veterans gathered around
an iPad to video call platoon leader Bob Cooper,
who lives in Oregon and doesn’t travel due to
Agent Orange-related lung problems.
“I forgot what handsome warriors you all
were,” Cooper said to his men.
They joked, laughed, cried and took photos before climbing into a black Hummer limo en route
to their much-anticipated ride.
They were set to fly that night, but a low cloud
ceiling prevented them from taking off and cancelled all rides for the following morning.
The Forest City Airport hosted Saturday’s afternoon air show as scheduled.
Tears welled in some men’s eyes as the blades
of a Cobra attack helicopter began to spin for
the show – an unforgettable sound many had not
heard since being in combat.
After the air show, the group was set to finally
make their delayed flight. Excitement buzzed as
they stood in the roped-off loading area. In two
lines, the veterans marched with Rognes’ daughter, Kjersti Rognes, to the chopper. They strapped
in. Some held video cameras to document the moment.
The engine started and blades began to turn.
They waited eagerly for liftoff, but instead the
propeller slowed and the engine stopped.
The clouds were still too low.
Ten minutes passed, and the grass below the
Huey danced in the propeller’s wind again. A circle of grass billowed out, bending to the wind the
way jungle vegetation did under Huey blades four
decades ago.
This time, the helicopter lifted off. It hovered
for a moment, and the group was airborne once
again.
For about 10 minutes, the veterans saw their
welcome home event together from the open
doors of a Huey in the sky. Despite threatening
weather, the mission was accomplished.
Upon landing, Sparaco, whose last Huey ride
was March 11, 1969 during his medical evacuation after stepping on a grenade, walked purposefully to his wife, Marge, and kissed her.
“I just couldn’t believe I was up in the air
again,” he said. “What a feeling. What a rush.”

Swaledale exit shows support for veterans
Motorcycling Vietnam veterans escort memorial to
Forest City for Operation LZ; supporters gather on bridges
BY KELLY MCGOWAN
The daughter of an Air Force pilot
navigator heard that a fleet of motorcycle-riding Vietnam veterans would
cruise northbound on I-35 Aug. 26.
Kimberly West, a Rockwell resident, grabbed her “land of the free”
and “home of the brave” yard signs
and headed down B60 to the bridge
over the interstate. She thought she
might be the only one.
“I love my country,” she said. “I
had a lot of friends who went to Vietnam – and some friends that didn’t
come back.”
She wasn’t the only one who
thought it was time to honor Vietnam
veterans. Firetrucks with flashing
lights parked on bridges over I-35
from the Boondocks in Willams to
Forest City. People gathered around
them with flags and signs to cheer,
wave and appreciate the veterans that
rode by. They escorted the Vietnam
Traveling Memorial Wall, engraved
with the names of soldiers who
didn’t come home.
They were on their way to Opera-
tion Landing Zone, a free event Aug.
26-30 that sought to give Vietnam
veterans the welcome and thanks
they generally did not receive when
they returned from service.
Vietnam veteran and Rockwell
resident Mike Echelberger came out
to the bridge.
“It’s a nice gesture for the veterans,” he said. “We never got welcomed home. When we got home,
we were called every kind of name
you could think of.”
Trucks were in place and people
began gathering on the B60 bridge
shortly after 11 a.m.
Swaledale resident Curt Stille
said the atmosphere was appreciative of what veterans did, and inspiring to those who came to show support.
Mark Hammer, from Panora, was
on his way to Mason City when he
noticed trucks, flags and welcome
home signs on overpasses and pulled
off at the Swaledale exit to check it
out.
“I thought I’d stop and watch it,”
Rockwell resident Mike Echelberger supported his fellow Vietnam veterans
from the B60 bridge as they drove by in a motorcade Aug. 26. They were
escorting the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall Forest City for Operation LZ.

Hammer said. “Seeing as I’m a veteran myself.”
He said being in a fleet of bikers
would “create a kind of solidarity.”
