498th patch by Cpt. Mike Pouncey (498th dustoff)
I PAID A VISIT TO THE 498TH AIR AMBULANCE COMPANY AT FORT BENNING IN FEBRUARY 2001.
I MET THE COMMANDER, MAJ. KYLE D. CAMPBELL AND THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CPT. MIKE POUNCEY.
THEY WERE QUITE GRACIOUS IN THEIR PRAISE OF THE 498TH IN THE VIET NAM YEARS AND GAVE ME THE VIP TOUR OF THE COMPANY.
TODAY'S 498th MEDICAL COMPANY IS AS IMPRESSIVE AS EVER!
I SALUTE YOU ALL!
