CMSgt Wayne Fisk - a Warrior's Warrior
The Enlisted Heritage Hall has rolled out its latest exhibit honoring one of the nations true warriors, CMSgt Wayne Fisk. The exhibit depicts Chief fisk manning the gun position on the ramp section of an HH-53B helicopter, commonly called the "Jolly Green." Jolly Greens played a key role in combat search and rescue in the war in SouthEast Asia and continue to be employed in combat in the Middle East. Chief Master Sergeant Wayne Fisk, a decorated Pararescueman, served with distinction in the
war in Southeast Asia. He was awarded the silver star on two occasions, first for his heroism in the raid on the Son Tay prison camp in North Vietnam in November of 1971, and again for his heroism during the rescue of the US Marines during the battle of Koh Tang Island in May of 1975 following the capture of the SS Mayaguez by Cambodian Khmer Rouge troops. The battle of Koh Tang Island is considered the last official battle of the Vietnam war; Chief Fisk is credited with firing the last shots of
the war off of the ramp of his Jolly Green!
Among Chief Fisk's many achievements are the following: US Jaycees Ten Outstanding Young Men of America in 1979, Air Force Association Citation of honor, Military Airlift Command Outstanding Senior Non-Commissioned Officer, Outstanding Airman in the Philippines (Republic of the Philippines Presidential Award), and may others. In addition to Chief Fisk's two Silver Stars he was awarded the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross with one Oak Leaf
Cluster, the Meritorious Service Medal with One Oak Leaf Cluster, the Air Medal with 18 Oak Leaf Clusters and 64 other awards and decorations. He holds a Master Parachutist Badge, A Chief Aircrew Badge, and an Underwater Swimmer Badge.
Chief Fisk was also the first director of the Enlisted Heritage Hall established at Maxwell-Gunter in 1984.
