Noted pilot headlines Vietnam celebration
Noted pilot headlines Vietnam celebration
(EXCERPT) Terry DeVine, The Forum Published Wednesday, May 05, 2004 · advertisement · There was a time when one could probably have been forgiven for wondering if Mark Berent had a death wish. Why else would someone spend four years and a day (four tours) flying air combat missions during the Vietnam War? When asked why he kept going back, Berent, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, said, "A lot of reasons; because it was there, because I wanted a MIG, because when the threat goes up the paperwork goes down and the weenies run for cover; but mostly because the guys were still fighting. Everyday I'd pick up a paper and find another buddy KIA (killed in action), MIA (missing in action), or POW (prisoner of war). I just couldn't stay on the beach." A Minneapolis native whose father was a noted Minnesota stunt pilot in the 1930s, Berent is in Fargo for Vietnam... U.S. and friendly nation laws prohibit fully reproducing copyrighted material.
