THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

I flew with Bill "Hawk" Hawkins in 1970. We had a mission where three flight members received a purple heart and I received a DFC. We were called the purple heart gang. He was an exceptional soldier and person. We all miss him deeply.
