I bring an article of a military newspaper.
Disfutenlo ... Remarks
Sergeant Major and veteran of Guera, Daniel Horacio Marchi.
"I have the pride of having integrated battle group belonging to the most decorated unit of Army Aviation," says the Sergeant Major and slowly Veteran Daniel Horacio Marchi, Head of the Headquarters of the Army Aviation Association of 601 , based in Campo de Mayo. His service record details that Marchi Exit the then General Lemos School in December 1976 and in 1977 he was assigned to the Assault Helicopter Company 601. South Atlantic War found him with the rank of Sergeant Flight Engineer aboard the CH47 Chinook helicopter, C enrolls AE 520, whose pilot was Captain Da Costa Silva, and co-pilot, Captain Pedro Angel Obregon, counting as a crew member with Mechanical Corporal Alfredo Romero. The above machine belonged to the Society of Assault "A" of the Combat Aviation Battalion 601, was headed by First Lieutenant Henry Argentino Magnaghi. "We crossed two Chinook Malvinas l April 18," expresses Marchi and continues with his story. "Our unit, major surgery, carrying cargo, ammunition, troops moved Unimogs and 105 mm cannons to the required positions. But everything changed dramatically on 1 May, at the beginning of English attacks. After the morning of May 21 at Mount Kent, was surprised by a fierce attack by British aircraft, with past grades and the heavy fire of Aden 30 mm cannon, left a toll of a Bell UH 1H (the EA 418) and a Chinook destroyed (not the self manned). We threw to the ground, while bursts of bullets passed over our heads, in those limited situations we lived. On another occasion, on 12 June, while we packed the Chinook, were attacked with mortar fire. I remember shaking the ground as peat, before dangerous projectiles that fell upon us. To remember those days of missions and battles, I have made clear that we were like a family. All we put the shoulder towards the common goal. We had our office at 15
conscripts, who performed support functions flight refueling, styles the loads to be transported and also were gunners, if the occasion demanded, among other tasks. With those kids that fought win! From here I pay tribute to the courage and demonstrated delivery. Among them were the conscripts Antonio Emilio Falcon, who later would write "Angels on the mob," an excellent and detailed work on those rough days of battle. Nine UH-1H, five "Pumas", dos Chinook y tres A-109 Augusta llegaron a Malvinas y ninguno regreso al
continente. Varios fueron destruidos y otros resultaron capturados por el adversario ingles. Tuvimos tres bajas, que nos golpearon duro (los Tenientes Fiorito y Buschiazzo y el Sargento Di Motta). Nuestras tripulaciones y sus maquinas de combate surcaron una y otra vez los cielos de Malvinas cumpliendo las misiones asignadas, sin aflojar, pese a las condiciones desventajosas del teatro de batalla, y, cuando los motores se silenciaron y las palas de nuestros helicopteros quedaron inmoviles, se habian ganado el merecido reposo del guerrero, que ha sabido cumplir hasta el final con su cometido. La batalla nos fue adversa, es cierto, pero los que peleamos en aquellas days we feel there is defeat, or the just cause of our sovereignty nor, much less, of our spirits. For while any of our machines are in action, patrolling the skies and defend shall remain Argentines.

And I made a poem.
the other fallen pride
reminded us,
healthy firms.
In his recollections,
Our souls invoked.
deeds reminded us,
joy or sorrow.
know that fighting in the field, never was
sloth.
machine guns, hot,
unquenchable.
And the enemies were, 7.62 The bullets
them down.
In the battlefield,
Our lives put at stake.
have defended the country,
Only with our fire.
for our lives, they prayed.
only some returned. We
we stayed, our lives
proudly offerings. Joshua Correa
December 2008
That was it.
If you believe, take into account the effort of the post.
And the respect that must be taken. Thanks
