The rest is history indeed. The most harrowing story I've ever heard! Simply amazing to keep your cool during all that chaos. Jim still makes a difference. Love the humility of these guys. 😊

I served with Jim Fleming with the 20th Special Operation Squadron from 1968 to 1968. I flew several missions with him. He was our most junior officer, but you would never know by the way he flew. Fred Cook his door gunner he refers to was one of my best friends. COL Fleming's crew was the best of the best!

Then Captain Fleming was one of our Military Training Instructors at the Air Force Academy in the early 1970’s. Very inspiring, a humble man who did what he was called a upon to do, without concern for himself.

My next door neighbor was a MOH recipient. I never knew that. His name was Nicky Bacon. He was a staff sergeant.

I just looked up your neighbor- amazing! He earned pretty much every medal the USA gives for combat bravery and wounds. I was in USMC… I met a few navy cross recipients and more than a few silver stars, bronze stars and Purple Hearts., but never a CMH… what a great American!

One day I was driving home on I-5 near Portland, OR. A car passed me on the left and I noticed his license plate read MOH1.....

Cambodia had the thickest mud I ever experienced. Even the AVLB (armored vehicle launch bridge) got stuck. A huge wrecker was required to extract it. Our main communications van had to be pressure washed 7 times to be able to drive it back to NAM. May 1970.
