A memorial banner commemorates 'The Rescue of Manual 42,' a combat search-and-rescue mission flown on Mother's Day, May 11, 1969, near Tchepone, Laos. After a Marine F-4 Phantom was downed by anti-aircraft fire, A-1 Skyraiders, OV-10 Broncos, and HH-3 'Jolly Green Giant' helicopters combined for a rescue effort lasting nearly three hours, successfully recovering the surviving pilot while the radar intercept officer was killed in action. Several participants later received the Silver Star and Distinguished Flying Cross for their actions. Project: 219913
