A quote from Benny Doyles' story, Demon Maintenance - The Standard Of Excellence:
I believe that the 134th Assault Helicopter Company, as it existed in the '68-'69 period, experienced one of those rare moments in history when everything came together to provide a collective entity greater than its many parts. It had noble young aviators, leaders, and soldier-mechanics, each possessing exceptional intelligence, training, skills, knowledge, professionalism, experience, and courage, and a fierce determination to do their various jobs better than anyone else could.
Adventure, danger, sacrifice, dedication, unit morale, camaraderie and esprit de corps, all words that describe the men of the 134th Assault Helicopter Company well. Stanley R. Gause best described us in the following quote;
"To the men who heroically served in the 134th Assault Helicopter Company, she was undoubtedly the best aviation outfit in Vietnam, maybe the best there ever was, anywhere. There were many fine aviation units in this "Helicopter War". Perhaps some units accomplished more and, due to the luck of the draw, some certainly suffered far more casualties. Some achieved considerable renown, however, the 134th Assault Helicopter Company had no equal in terms of individual motivation, dedication, unit morale, camaraderie, and esprit de corps. The men who served in the 134th Assault Helicopter Company were part of something unique and fulfilled their duty magnificently." May God bless the Men of the
134th Assault Helicopter Company
There will never be another.
