Gentlemen,

I am the education specialist at MCRD Command Museum in San Diego. As part of my tasks I write articles for the Depot's newspaper. I am currently writing one concerning Operation Cool It -- when CH-46s dropped ice cream to the Marines on Hills 861, 881 North and South.

Do you know anyone who was involved in this operation? What month was it? And, did Lt Col Richard Carey (retired Gen. USMC) fly one of the CH-46, or did he help obtain the dry ice and ice cream at command level?

Thank You for your assistance!
