Good Guys,

David Gambill was aboard Providence in 1966-67 and later joined the Army Reserves. He was called back to combat because of his expertise in Helocopters as a refueler . The lives of many were changed by the attack on our Country on September 11, 2001.

We wish to thank Dave Gambill and the WARHAWK crew for their patriotic service and gesture. They have presented the Providence Association with an American Flag that flew over Iraq in 7 June 2005.

The links below include photos of the Certificate accompaning the American Flag presented to the Providence Association....the five person crew that man their Black Hawk Helocopter..unbelievable sandstorm photos...and a few photos from his time aboard Providence.

His wife Sandra writes,

"I have been looking for old photos from the USS Providence in the hope that maybe some of the guys would recognize Dave and would like to contact him...Like in the Good Old Days, Letters from home is still like Christmas! He still talks in Navy terminology.

January 1, 2006
Bill Price reports that Dave is now back on American soil.
Welcome home.....
