On Friday, November 13, Take Me Home Huey will begin an exhibition at the Airbase Arizona Museum of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) in Mesa, AZ. The “healing helicopter” will be on display to the public until late January 2016. Maloney’s Take Me Home Huey 42-foot long art installation combines a Huey helicopter used in Vietnam and turned into art for healing with a documentary film, a commissioned Take Me Home Huey song, a growing social media presence and website. A multi-media art project, Take Me Home Huey was created by the artist Steve Maloney from the remains of a UH-1H Huey helicopter that was shot down in 1969 during a medical rescue in Vietnam. The serial number of the Huey is 67-17174; the aircraft is commonly known as #174. The crew chief Gary Dubach and the medic Stephen Schumacher died bravely during the medical rescue attempt. The aircraft was found by Light Horse Legacy (LHL), a Peoria Az. based 501(c)3 non-profit focused on Post-Traumatic Stress. LHL researched, re-skinned and restored the helicopter for Maloney, who then repurposed it into art for healing. The CAF Airbase Arizona Aviation Museum is dedicated to preserving the history of those who have given so much to their country. The art sculpture will honor Vietnam veterans and will be appreciated by veterans and their families, art aficionados and history buffs alike. The museum is open daily from 10:00am – 4:00pm. The Take Me Home Huey art installation and self-guided tour via individual mobile phones at the CAF will be open to the public and free with entrance from 10:00am -4:00pm daily.

The Memorial, dedicated in June 1968, lists all the Oregonians killed in the war as of the date of dedication, many added later. The building where this memorial was for almost fifty years had sold and the remodeling put the memorial in harms way. The Beaverton Post has removed the Memorial from its old location and it is safely stored. The Post is presently securing funds to build the Memorial's permanent home in our Veterans Memorial Park. This is an expensive project, approx $130,000. We have secured $63,000 to date but we are reaching out to the community, organizations and corporations for financial help.

He was stationed at Nortolk, VA; Charleston, SC; Key West, FL; Orlando, FL; Holy Loch, Scotland aboard the tender U.S.S. Hunley and spent the last years of his career in Groton, CT where he was stationed at the submarine base. He retired in 1984 at Groton, CT. and was transferred to the Fleet Reserve. A Eunice Farnsworth-Ruth Heald Cragin Chapter, NSDAR Certificate in Recognition of his Valor, Service and Sacrifice while serving in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War was presented to TMCS Miller by the chapter Regent Linda Miller. The Senior Chief (Ret.) was also presented an official “Quilt of Valor “which was made by Wendy Northrup of Jefferson, ME and presented by Diane Christen of Kingfield, ME whose group “Stitches in the Snow “has made and presented 21 Quilts of Valor to local veterans.

Nancy is Regent of the Prairie Chapter DAR and both are retired from the U.S. Navy. "The Veteran's Honor Flight to Washington D.C." was the topic of their very informative presentation. They both work closely with the "Honor Flight" and explained how the Vietnam Veterans can now be included in this Program. They concluded by distributing application forms and information leaflets to encourage interest in the Honor Flight Program. Two of the members present volunteered to help with the next Flight leaving Kansas City, MO in the summer of 2016. Refreshments were served following the presentation and everyone was thanked for their attendance and cooperation by Regent Jessie M. Smith.

As each name was called, his branch of service was announced. Following the ceremony, a reception was held. Multiple issues arose early on. Our chapter Vietnam Veteran Commemoration Committee Chairperson stepped down a few months prior to this event. A new Chairperson was quickly appointed. Arrangements to have the JROTC present colors, reception food, printing of certificates were done up until the last minute. Attempts to have a live singer for the National Anthem was unsuccessful. The event speaker, who lives approximately 2 hours from our town, notified our chapter Regent just days prior to the event that she would need to leave the event immediately after speaking. The speaker received a request to speak at another veterans' event that same day, and she also had to visit with a close family friend who was not expected to live. The JROTC instructor was unable to attend at the last minute due a family medical emergency. However, the Senior Cadet present took charge and lead the cadets in presenting the colors without fail. The young cadets mingled with the veterans after the ceremony and enjoyed hearing stories from them.
