US Wings Vietnam War 50th Anniversary Rally

A Welcome Home Rally!

US Wings® participated in the National Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War by holding a WELCOME HOME rally from Friday May 20, 2011 to Sunday May 22, 2011 at our corporate office at 561 E. Hines Hill Road in Hudson Ohio. The Rally featured the Fastrax Skydiving Team, static military displays, vendors, music, free food & beverages, and special guest speakers.

Veterans Radio

Listen to the Veterans Radio broadcast from our Welcome Home Rally here (opens in a new window; press the "Play" button to begin). Recorded on May 21 2011, the broadcast features interviews with Sgt. David Hack (CEO of US Wings), LTG (R) Robert Wagner, and William Willoughby (Civilian Aide to the Sectretary of the Army, OH-North).




Sgt. Hack,
From the beginning to the end, the Rally was a real home run. Vets from all Services accompanied by friends and relatives of all ages, young and old, all happy. All Vietnam Vets felt the sincerity of "Thank you" and "Welcome Home."

Thank you for your initiative, planning and execution. You seized the moment without which a special opportunity would have been lost.

Your entire staff played a key role with their positive, outgoing, helpful, friendly and professional personalities. They are good, caring and respectful people -- a culture likely inspired by the example of their boss!

With respect and appreciation, thank you
Bob
LTG (R) Robert Wagner

To All At US Wings,
A quick "Thank You" for the Gathering you put on in Hudson! As a 'Nam vet, I can say for all of us, we appreciate the thought and effort you put in for us. It's also good to see the nation remembering the "young vets" of today. While we weren't really treated as well as we would have liked, I tend to think that our treatment was the driving force for the nation to see that it's not the vet to blame for bad judgement. We fought and died for our love of country and each other, not misguided philosophies and decisions. So what we missed has come around to a wonderful thing for the ones following us.

Again, Thank You!!!!

Sgt. Hack,
Dave, just wanted to let you and your staff know, one more time, how much we appreciate the way you took care of us this past weekend. We felt more like family than a business function. Thanks for a wonderful time!!

Sarge, Bob and Myke,
I want to thank you for the opportunity to participate in the 50th Anniversary Rally... I cannot tell you enough how fiercely proud I am to be a Vietnam Veteran, and the closeness we feel to one another was certainly evident at the Rally.

Little did I know the day I discovered US Wings while doing a Google search of The Myths of the Vietnam War would turn into such a warm friendship... I also want to thank you for the opportunity to once again attend mass and receive communion. It has been a while... I guess the last thing that needs saying is, Welcome Home.

I am a Vietnam vet (1965-1967) and a satisfied customer of yours for years. Your rally in May is the only one that I have heard of since hearing of the declaration by our Govt. This non-action by our country to honor an era and do nothing only brings back to me the same treatment as the era of my return in 1967. So I want you to know that I personally thank you for your dedicated appreciation of the Armed Forces...
