Enlisting in the US Army in 1967 and arrived in Vietnam in January of 1969, Chris Crowley volunteered to fly unarmed helicopters in Vietnam. Conducting one of the most dangerous missions in the war, Chris, his fellow pilots, and their crews were the lifeline for wounded US military members, South Vietnamese soldiers, and even enemy combatants. Chris flew over a thousand missions, rescuing over 3000 wounded.

"It was the best year of my life, and it changed all of us. Everyone who flew Dustoff that I know of, it was the defining moment of their lives." -Chris Crowley
