In response to Sgt, Frank Thompson’s post pertaining to Hawk Missiles in Vietnam “About 1968”. Hawks were deployed on Hill 327, overlooking the Danang Airfield, in 1965. My bunker was on the back side of Hill 327 in 1966, just behind the missile site looking down on the valley. One of the pictures in the second attached web site is one of the Hooch’s occupied by 1st Radio Bn Marines. A sapper attack took out the Hawks sometime after October 1966. I have seen a picture of the Hawks laying on the ground after the attack, but can not locate it now. I’m sure there are other marines who were up there at the time, and I just wanted to get the dates straight for the record.
