Josie Tuttle-Trimnal was 11 years old when her family received the news that her father, Army pilot CW3 William Tuttle, had died.
At the time, Tuttle, a decorated Vietnam War veteran and Black Hawk helicopter instructor pilot, was stationed at Fort Campbell. He was recruited to help grow the unit now known as the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment or The Night Stalkers.
"Every time he left, we did not know where he was going, and we didn't know what he was doing," Tuttle-Trimnal told WREG. "And when he came back, we still didn't know where he'd went or what he was doing!"
Her dad's helicopter went down off the coast of Panama on Oct 4th, 1983.
