Summary
Since the Army has continually refused to "Do The Right Thing" and honor Vietnam veterans who field tested Air Assault methods in combat, these same veterans must fight again to correct this injustice. This fight will use the political process, not M-16's. We are seeking a US Congressman or Senator to carry a bill or amendment on the Air Assault controversy.
Suggested wording is to ammend the current Air Assault Badge to read, "Authorized for individuals who participated in at least one combat air assault prior to 1 April 1974."
Technical assistance is available from the Air Assault Parity Coalition - email webmaster for help.
