Sgt. Hack’s upcoming interview on Fox News
SFC David Hack (CEO of US Wings and a decorated Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient) will be interviewed on FOX News on Veteran’s Day November 11th. He’ll talk about US Wings, his Vietnam experiences, and what he does for military veterans. Sarge was contacted by FOX News and asked to come to their main studio in New York for the interview, but he was unable to do so because of business and other commitments, so the interview will take place at FOX’s studio in Cleveland OH instead. We encourage everyone to tune in and hear what this military veteran and true American patriot has to say! He’ll be featured during the 5:00 PM ET broadcast on Veterans Day, so check your local listings for the channel(s).
SFC Hack volunteered for Vietnam in 1968, joining the 1st Infantry Division and was serving as a sergeant with the Big Red One in Lai Khe, Vietnam, in 1968, when he was awarded the Purple Heart for combat injuries that ultimately ended his military career. He actually suffered injuries on two occasions, taking shrapnel to the leg, arm, face, back and side. He spent a full year in a U.S. Army hospital in Fort Knox and was three years on medical hold.
The Department of the Army asked SFC Hack to be a recruiter, and he was assigned the Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, and Tallmadge, Ohio area.
He gained nationwide recognition as a top Army recruiter. His distinctive recruiting tools, which included a “Sgt. Hack Wants You” T-shirt, a custom Army jeep, and a custom-painted Corvette, helped make SFC Hack the United States’ No. 1 US Army recruiter (out of 12,000 recruiters) from 1969 to 1973. The jeep he used is on display at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, home of the 101st Airborne Division. The only other jeep ever to be enshrined in a U.S. military museum belonged to GEN George S. Patton, whose jeep is enshrined at Fort Knox.
Sarge, I saw your Fox news piece this Veterans` Day. It was great! Well done.
The MA-1 jacket I bought from you with your personal guidance was a big hit. My 4-year old great grandson loved it. The fit was perfect. At the zoo, he asked his mom if he could take the jacket home to Florida. He just could not believe it was his. When he left to go to the airport, he had a great big smile. He was one proud little pilot.
Thank you.
