Description
Carlos Cortez was a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam War between 1968 and 1970. He is from New Jersey, and went to the war when he was 19 years old. He began by flying as a co-pilot in medical evacuations, and then became an aircraft commander. Cortez still stays in close contact with many of his friends from the war, and attends yearly meetings with other Vietnam pilots. He has never gone back to Vietnam, but he hopes to go back one day, possibly after his son goes away to college.
