“This [monument] is something we’ve been waiting for a long, long time,” said Michael Mikulan, who flew helicopters in Vietnam in 1969. “For many of us here who are 70 and above, this is it. We couldn’t ask for anything more.”

If any of you are out there, not only Vietnam chopper pilots, but ANY combat veterans, all I can do is express my sincere heartfelt thanks to ALL of you.
We SEE you. Don't ever doubt it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Can anyone explain to me why a specific monument to helicopter pilots? Are there other specific monuments?

Thanks for the explanation, but I still find it strange to have a monument for specific people. Is there a monument to all those that fought in the Vietnam war? If there is why make specific monuments for each "category"? If there isn't, why not make one dedicated to all?

Does having one dedicated to rotary wing crews somehow diminish you?
