Seawolves:
First Choice - Daniel E. Kelly - Created in 1967,
the HAL-3 helicopter squadron--aka Seawolves--provided
quick-reaction close air support to SEALs, PBR River
Rats, and Special Forces advisers and their troops.
During the five years of the unit's existence, the
seven detachments of Seawolves amassed stunning stats--78,000
missions, 82,00 enemy kills, 8,700 sampans sunk, and
9,500 structures destroyed. These 200 men collected
a total of 17,339 medals. This is the story of one
of those men.
