The Legend of Dust Off, America's Battlefield Angels. Viet Nam may be the only war we ever fought in which the American soldier enhanced their heroism with humanitarianism unmatched in warfare. Humanitarianism was America's great victory in Viet Nam. Spearheading the humanitarian effort was Dust Off, the most dangerous of all aviation activities and the most amazing battlefield life saver in the history of warfare. This is the story of the father of Dust Off, Charles Kelly, who died to save Dust Off. His dying words, "When I have your wounded", set the standard for aero medical evacuation to this day. It is also the story of Kelly's disciples who struggled and died to meet his standard. One unit, the 54th, did. The author, Gen. Brady, learned from Kelly and led the 54th as it rescued over 21,000 wounded-enemy and friendly-in 10 months; while sustaining 26 Purple Hearts. It is also the story of faith in combat and the miracles it produces. 39 photos.

This book on the untold story of "humanitarian acts of American GI's in Vietnam during, not just after, war," exemplified by the "Dust Off" helicopter ambulance pilots and crews who saved tens of thousands of lives inspired by "Dust Off" legend Army Maj. Charles Kelly, killed in action, should be must reading for every veteran and patriot -- and every liberal with an open mind willing to hear truths about the Vietnam War and those who served in it. It is written by one who lived the Kelly code of combat honor and became one of America's greatest living military heroes, Maj. Gen. Patrick H. Brady (USA, ret.), Medal of Honor Recipient, considered to be perhaps the fifth most decorated American soldier in history.
Vietnam veterans were the first veterans to return home to be scorned, turned away from, even vilified. Brady, who became known as "the GI's general," tells a different story, detailing the humanitarian acts of GI's in Vietnam, rarely if ever recognized by the American media and opinion makers, or known by the American public generally. He writes in part: "The thing that makes Viet Nam so intolerable is what the elite have done to dishonor...the Viet Nam veteran and destroy their unselfish and honorable legacy. ...But not even the elite could guarantee total defeat. The American Soldier still found victory -- in humanitarianism...And the humanitarianism took place during the heat of battle. The GI fixed as he fought, he cured and educated and built in the middle of the battle. He truly cared for, and about, those people. What other Army has ever done that? Humanitarianism was America's great victory in Vietnam."
