John J. Gebhart quit college in 1964 and joined the Marine Corps. He spent the years from September 1965 to September 1967 in Vietnam, much of it as Huey door gunner. Gebhart graduated from St Joseph College with a B.S. in Business Administration and is the owner of a large employment service company. Gebhart was inducted into the ‘Enlisted Combat Aircrew Roll of Honor’ on November 14, 2003, aboard USS Yorktown at Patriots Point in Charleston, South Carolina.
These are the matter-of-fact memories of a Marine Corps helicopter
gunner. His well-told story rattles along with a seam of Marine
humour. "You got all the free ammunition you wanted, endless cold
beers to drink, and boom boom girls to party with. Who could ask
for more? of course there were some minor problems like all the VCs
and VNAs who wanted to kill us".
