Linden airman wins praise and medals from Viet Nam service
Viet Cong offered 500 for his capture dead or alive, but his wife wanted him alive. Air Force Captain Alexander Zakrzeski returned home with multiple Distinguished Flying Crosses and Air Medals, after directing air strikes as a forward air controller north of Than Thiet. He heads to Hohn AFB in Germany in April, married to Paulette with children Alexander Jr. and Carl Ann. He says Vietnamese people seek freedom to farm their land, and he does not see himself as a hero.
