Pay tribute to one of the most courageous and often overlooked rescue units of the Vietnam War with the Pedro Commemorative Challenge Coin.
The nickname "Pedro" came from the radio call sign used by the United States Air Force's HH-43 Huskie rescue helicopters operating throughout Southeast Asia. These aircraft and their crews performed hundreds of combat rescue missions, recovering downed airmen and wounded personnel under some of the most dangerous conditions of the war. The HH-43 became the first Air Force rescue helicopter deployed to Southeast Asia and ultimately recorded more combat rescues than any other USAF rescue helicopter during the conflict.
This beautifully crafted challenge coin honors the pilots, pararescuemen, flight engineers, and rescue crews who answered the call whenever lives were on the line. Whether you are a veteran, military collector, aviation enthusiast, or family member of a Pedro crewman, this coin serves as a lasting reminder of their courage, sacrifice, and commitment to bringing others home.
