This site is dedicated to all who have served with the Hawks from Viet Nam to the present day Hawks who are still serving to protect our nation. 

The history and legacy of the Hawks started in Viet Nam in July of 1968.  UH-1 gunships were the order of the day when D101 was formed with men and equipment from other units that were already combat proven, and they carried the battle forward till the new AH-1G gunships  arrived.   Lessons were learned from those combat proven pilots, crew chiefs, gunners and maintenance crews.  The Hawks of D101 now had new equipment and they took to to the air with their new Cobra gunships and carried on with the mission.
