2009 Reunion


September17, 2009:  Hawk Ben Bright of 68-69 and Hawk Don Weidlick of 69-70 were the only Hawks that attended the D101Hawks 2009 Eastern Renion in Hampton, VA.  Both had a great time and said the reunion was really great.  Hawk Ben Bright also attended the Western Version of the D101Hawks 2009 Reunion that was held in Reno with the VHCMA, there was a total of 12 Hawks at that reunion.    Ben also posted some reunion pictures from Hampton , VA on the website, so be sure and look at them.
 
September 14, 2009:  The Eastern version of the 2009 D101Hawks Reunion is now over.  I will post on the D101Hawks website any info or picture that is sent in.
 
September 01, 2009:  Hawk Ben Bright from the 68-69 Hawks has suggested that the Hawks who will be in Hampton, VA next week consider bringing along any items from their time as a Hawk, such as pictures, orders, awards or decorations or other mementos that the other Hawks might like to see.  If images are available of any of the items I will be glad to post them on the D101Hawks website in the Photo Gallery.  The 2009 Eastern Reunion will be a good opportunity for those Hawks in attendance to discuss the time and place of the 2010 Reunion or Reunions if a decision is reached to have two D101Hawks Reunions.
 
August 04, 2009:  September 9th is coming up real soon and I hope that all Hawks who are planning on being in Hampton, VA have all their plans made including hotel and travel arrangements confirmed for the start of the Eastern Version of the 2009 D101Hawks Reunion.  The 101st will be having the 64th Annual Reunion at the same time and place and the Hawks of Company D, 101st Aviation Battalion are proud to be a part of that.  Be sure and talk to Ben Bright about the Western version that he attended in Reno, NV in June and thank him for all the initial contact work that he does so that the Hawks have a place with the various reunion groups.            Special Note:  Be sure and contact CW Jackson of the B101Kingsmen (67-68) about the 101st Snowbird reunion in Orlando, FL in February of 2010, CW is trying to get the whole Battalion together at the same time and place. His email address is cw_209 @ yahoo.com and phone number 850 - 960 - 2686.

Ben Bright has also said that he would be at the Viginia reunion in September with the 101st Association and he will be looking for all East Coast Hawks to be there. 
 
January 24, 2009:  Reno News:  Ben Bright, our point man on the Planning Committee has spoken with the Vietnam Helicopter Crew Members Association (VHCMA) and they said that the D101Hawks can have a mini-reunion with them in Reno.  There will be a registration fee with the VHCMA which will be a pass for the Hospitality Room and that is where the D101Hawks will meet.  Information will be on their site
www.vhcma.org in late January so all we have to do is get the news out to the Hawks who are interested in the D101Hawks West Coast Reunion June 17-20, 2009 in Reno, Nevada.
 
January 24, 2009:  Hampton News:  Ben Bright also has found out some information about the 64th Annual Reunion that the 101st Association will be having in Hampton, Virginia during September 9-13, 2009.  Information will be on their site at ww.screamingeagle.org  ach person will have to register with the 101st Association in order to have access to the Hospitality Room where the D101Hawks will meet.  Spread the news to the Hawks who may be interested in the D101Hawks East Coast Reunion, one Hawk has already said that he would be attending both.
 
January 22, 2009:  Some early information concerning the 2009 D101Hawks Reunion is that the Hawk Planning Committee is working toward the goal of having a West coast reunion around June in Reno and then a East coast reunion around September in Virginia.  By having the D101Hawks reunion this way it may help ease some of the travel problems associated with reunions, and of course we are hoping for big turn outs at both sites.
