Noel Ervin Shipp

Noel should at the very least have been the recipient of a bravery award. There is little doubt that as his helicopter spun out of control and the ground was rapidly coming towards him, this brave man kept at his task firing his machine gun with fire directed towards the enemy. He well knew that his final moments would be the loss of his life and best serious injuries, yet he carried out his duty and paid the supreme sacrifice. Lest we Forget.
