The crew who got awarded the CAR.

The day I was transferred from the USS Saratoga to Wiltsie (on line) by helicopter, VC watching on shore, as I was lowered from helicopter in boatswain’s chair, soon as my feet hit the deck, we were fired upon. That day the entire crew was awarded the Combat Action Ribbon.
