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.

Beaverton Post #124 is refurbishing and relocating one of the oldest Vietnam Veterans Memorials in the United States. 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. Please visit our website for more information: www.beavertonpost124.org .

JSAB-Randolph,TX

DSN: 754-2197

This is an on-line "event" with biographies of 40 USAF veterans posted on the Air Force website. This total includes 19 Vietnam Veterans. Of special note, Col (Ret) Lee Ellis, former POW, is among those honored, and a member of our Commemorative Partner Working Group nominated Colonel Ellis to this prestigious recognition. This website will be active for some time and then archived. Veterans in Blue Vol VI was released on-line on the afternoon of November 16, 2015. The Veterans in Blue program originated within the Air Force Public Affairs Agency in 2010. The program was named "Pioneers in Blue" in 2010 and 2011. In 2012 we renamed the program "Veterans in Blue" and aligned its release to Veterans Day in November of each year. Since the beginning of the program in 2010, USAF Vietnam Veterans have been highlighted each year. We arbitrarily listed the end date as Veterans' Day 2016, since this volume will be replaced by a new volume around that date. As of now, the website for Volume VI is still a featured link on the official Air Force home page. Even when a new volume is published next November, all previous volumes will be available in an on-line archive. Colonel Ellis was an honored guest at the Air Force's first official commemorative event, a wreath-laying honoring Air Force POWs. SAF Public Affairs was the HQ USAF lead for this honor, and the AF Public Affairs Agency, a field operating agency of SAF/PA, published the volume. Although this on-line honor is not located in a specific geographic place, and even though we did not get confirmation of the success of our nomination until the actual release, this program effectively meets all of the goals of the Vietnam Commemoration: Vietnam Veterans are honored, and currently serving Airmen and the general public are educated about the sacrifices of Veterans and the contribution of the Air Force to the Vietnam War. Additionally, there is a physical gallery on the fifth floor of the Pentagon.
