Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 We lost another comrade from our VFW post last weekend. Doug Stowe, former Huey pilot with the 281st Assault Helicopter Company. Doug’s unit flew support for the 5th Special Forces Group in Vietnam, taking teams out to bad places and bringing them back. He returned to Dove Creek after coming back to the world and was a rancher and farmer for years. A county commission chairman and much loved and respected member of our community. He will be missed. We are fading away at a rapid rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
