Vietnam had a profound experience on Sgt. Hack. Wounded twice, the second time severely, Sgt Hack spent over a year at Ireland Army Hospital at Ft. Knox Kentucky. He feels this time spent with his fellow wounded veterans helped him transition from combat back to the world. The Life of a Warrior recounts his time spent in Vietnam in 1968 from his arrival in March until his medical evacuation in September. </div>

SFC Hack,<br />
I read your book over the weekend and enjoyed it. I found it floating around the VVA office here at Moberly Correctional Center. Your book give hope about my future. I feel down a lot and grasp at information to help me along. I am 43 years old, and Army medic, and did a tour of Iraq 2007 to 2008. I cam home and began having all kinds of problems. I was dealing with a hyper vigilance, nightmares, paranoia, and depression. I got into a fight that turned deadly and came to prison on a manslaughter charge. I , too, just wanted to go away and disappear when I cam home. I lost several guys from my FOB, I can't imagine losing a whole company. I was a medice for convoy security driving throughout Iraq while dodging IED's.<br />
I am an associate member in the VVA chapter here. I do a lot of the secretarial work. I like it because it keeps me connected to other veterans here at the prison. I hope to get involved with other veterans organizations when I get out.<br />
Your story give me hope about returning to society and being successful. I was a firefighter/paramedic and can't return to my profession because of my felony. But I will continue to strive to be my best. You also give me hope to find love again. I was married but that has gone away with my conviction. I do hope to remarry one day.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">Sgt. Hack has received hundreds of comments from consumers all over the United States about The Life of a Warrior. The book was written as an inspiration to others to help people overcome difficulties in their lives.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">Yesterday, he received this comment:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18.2px;">This book shows a man who had a lot of bad hands dealt him and he kept picking himself up and going. He never gave up, a lot of bad times, but some how GOD helped him keep moving forward. Shows, the cards you are dealt are not always good ones, but don't give up. I can speak from first hand, "Rocket City" (Lai Khe) was no picnic place to be let alone be with the "Big Red 1". God Bless you Sgt. Hack. 173rd. AHC, (Robin Hoods) 68-6</span></span><br />

not only a man. But a person that went from a normal live to having almost been
mark for dead. With all this going on he went from the pits of hell to coming
home like the rest of our troops have to go threw and loses everything. Pick
himself up and still love want he did and I know would do it again. I have not
only share my copy but. Handed to another Army vet that was there and he also
said. Yes it was hell but he has no regrets he is a Veteran and always will
love our country. Sgt. Hack me and my other fellow Americans. Chould never give
you back your life before the war. But because of you I can sit here and say
God bless our VETS.. And many you have happy Dreams. You understand what I am
saying. God bless you.</i></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">Wow! I find it hard
to make any meaningful comment about Sarge. I always wondered what I would do
if I faced a situation like Sarge was in. I spent the best part of 8 years in
the Navy and feel ashamed to say I serve my country when compared to Sarge.
While there may be some who can say that their story is close to the same as
Sarge's, most of us just led a mundane existence in comparison. Some one said
that 'most people go through life without ever having lived it" but people
like Sarge have lived it to the fullest and have become and inspiration and a
model to look up to. <br />
Thank you Sarge for your service and sacrifice and from a Brother-in Arms,
Welcome Home.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"><i>As a Vietnam Veteran,
I believe SFC Hack's book, "The Life of a Warrior", is a must read
for all Vietnam Veterans and anyone interested in getting some idea of what
often happened to the dedicated warriors who answered the call to serve in the most
controversial war our country ever faced, came home to an uncaring, often
hostile, public, went into a long, downward spiral and then rose from the ashes
to resume a place in society as a respected, hard working citizen. The book is
easy to read and goes straight to the point as it moves quickly along. The
story is honest without being gruesome. I found SFC Hack's path upward very
inspiring and I believe any Veteran of any war would also find inspiration
within these chapters. It reminded me again that our cause was just and we have
nothing to be ashamed of. Do yourself a favor and read this book</i>.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"><i>Believe
in yourself. When I read The Life Of A Warrior I was left with an indelible
feeling of self belief in myself as my mind meandered through the pepper corn
and double gee ("thats a nasty little prickle") pathway between
imagining myself there on Friday the thirteenth 1968 in Vietnam, being
attacked by the Viet Cong and surviving with more than just a hot terrible
taste in my mouth. The first chapter of Sgt. Hacks book The Life Of A Warrior
leaves no dought as to the gravity of the situation Sgt. Hack found himself
in, the following chapters tell us why he was so able to survive it.<br />
After being raised by a man who sounded as hard as the wood he'd been working
with most of his days and who threw his kids around just like they were made
of the same stuff, in a time where luxuries were more the stuff of dreams, if
there was room enough in a kids mind living under such conditions as young
David Hack grew up in for dreams of luxuries to enter, then it follows that a
man who has been through such hardships and still has the willpower and
foresight to see to it that he gets himself into a position whereby he is the
one sent forth to stand and protect such an army General as General Keith
Ware, would also be able to shoulder the responsibility of surviving the
terrible injuries inflicted upon him by the unwielding Viet Cong.<br />
After being brought up in a 'dirt floored sheep shack' in Sunfish, Kentucky
sergeant Hack must have seen most everything that stood in his way thereafter
as a moveable object. One gets that impression from the way he dealt with the
bullies and crooked cops and sea sickness as he moved on out of rural
Kentucky and into the United States Coast Guard. One also gets a strong
feeling of human goodness from the intervention of Ivan Shively who was about
"as cute as a toothless rat" but who came along and it sounds like
"kicked" metaphorically a new sense of urgency of moral goodness
into the young David Hack.<br />
The Life Of A Warrior has all this and more in it as it touches on several
points of interest in the life of sergeant David Hack, shedding light upon
key points in the road that led him to grow up a staunch and trustworthy
figure in himself to escape out of the precarious nature of his surroundings,
touching base with the great Cassius Clay on the way, even encapsulating a
time in history when the world was either too busy building following a war
or too lax to take the time out to bury the war dead on Wake Island,
something he took the time out himself to do in a true show of human dignity,
compassion and patriotism.<br />
The Life Of A Warrior has all this and more, not bad for 55 page book.
Telling it is not reading it. Read The Life Of A Warrior and be amazed by its
shining light.</i></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">A great gift with my
purchase.. I admire those who are self made. This book is is the story of one
such man.<br />
Sgt. Hack reminds me in some ways of my father. My father was orphaned, was not
kept by relatives, and raised in an orphanage. There he met my mother, another
orphan. They raised 5 children and put them all through college. No help from
anyone.<br />
The book also reminds me of what military service gives someone. Maturity and
responsibility were two of my gifts.<br />
It goes without saying what some in the military gave and continue to give for
their country, and their fellow service members. It is a staggering gift.<br />
A great book to pass on.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">I
received a copy of the book "The Life of a Warrior" when my wife
and I drove to Hudson, Ohio to purchase one of the jackets. At that time, I
did not know who was the owner of U.S. Wings and simply set the book aside to
be looked at on a future date.<br />
<br />
While researching the site for a sizing chart, I discovered that the company
was owned by Sgt Hack. I grew up in the area. Munroe Falls,Stow and Cuyahoga
Falls and heard the name "Sgt. Hack used". I also heard about Sgt.
Hack from a family member that had contact with him, that was back in the
late 1970's. <br />
<br />
I needed to relay the above background information to put into context the
rest of my review. <br />
<br />
I actually opened up the PDF version of the book and printed it off not
remembering that I had received a bound copy of the book at the store. Just
one of those well "duh" moments for me, but does let folks know
that they can download the book to their computer and read and/or print it
off on paper copy.<br />
<br />
On to the review.<br />
<br />
The book has filled in the missing pieces about Sgt Hack that I did not know.
My impression of Sgt Hack has been greatly expanded AND CHANGED due to the
book. <br />
<br />
I too have overcome an injury, as I was hurt in High School and I know how
difficult it is to work through these life changing events. My family has
also shared some of the humble beginnings and I can completely relate how it
molds one's character, for good or bad. <br />
<br />
My respect for the sacrifices that Sgt Hack did for our country, for his
family and for himself grew as I read the book. We all need to know the back
story behind the man. I greatly respect him (now that I know the backstory)
for not allowing life's experiences to push him to (Star War's cliche NOT
intended) the dark side of life.<br />
<br />
I also (now that I know) greatly respect him for volunteering to put himself
into the same "harm's way" that he was recruiting young men into.
That is the mark of a man of integrity, so much of which is lacking in
today's so-called leaders. (read the book to find out how...)<br />
<br />
I suggest everyone read the book and understand how Sgt Hack's life mirrors
so many of our returning veterans. Wounded, physically and spiritually, but
still maintaining the perseverance to continue to forge ahead. He can set a
shining example for others on how to overcome their own issues !!!!<br />
<br />
From a pure literary perspective, the book was short and to the point. The
information was presented in a way that I read through the book completely
(granted it is not very long, which is the only shortcoming). I feel Sgt
Hack's story could be expanded a bit without hurting the intention behind the
book. <br />
<br />
How cool is it, that the act of buying a jacket can loop a person (me, after
all this time from first hearing the name Sgt Hack) back into the sphere of
influence of another (Sgt Hack) so that I could have the opportunity to know
the real story.........<br />
<br />
Best Regards to Sgt Hack,<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">I did not serve with
<a href="http://www.sgthack.com/">SFC Hack</a> in Vietnam. I did serve with him in the Cleveland, OH Recruiting Main
Station when I was a Unit of Choice Recruiter for the 101st Airborne Division.
He was, without question, the most dynamic, personable, motivated Army
Recruiter I have ever had the pleasure of serving with. He singlehandedly was
responsible for the entry onto active duty to the 101st Abn Div more recruits
than the rest of the RMS combined. We worked together to set up parachute
demonstrations, Helicopter Rappelling demonstrations and for the lack of a
better term - meet and greets with all of the high schools in the area. He
taught me more about how to motivate people than all the other schools,
classes, people in my life.</span><br />

I purchased my first jacket - an A-2 in 1994. I was pleased to find the owner
of the company, <a href="http://www.uswings.com/">US Wings </a>was none other than my old friend SFC David Hack. I
knew he had retired from the Army and was a Chief of Police in the town they
lived in, I had no idea that he and Lannie had started one of the very first
internet sales companies on the planet. </span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">
I consider David one of my oldest friends. We can go several years with no

<br />
<a href="http://www.sgthack.com/">Sgt. Hack</a> received this great review of The Life of a Warrior yesterday, December 2nd, 2015:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">America – gloried
home of the essential underdog. The annals of the history of this land are
laden with those who against the odds and conventional wisdom, made something
out of nothing. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Sam Walton, Ray Kroc, and Ted Turner to
name a few, were such men who with a keen sense of vision, managed to overcome
the complacencies and the monotonies of life. Albert Einstein once stated that,
“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from the most
mediocre of minds”. Sergeant David Hack was by no means mediocre.<br />
During the Tet Offensive, elements of the 1st Infantry Division often referred
to as “The Big Red One” was attacked by soldiers of the North Vietnamese Army
(NVA) on January 13, 1968. All of Sgt. Hack’s men were killed in the ambush.
Laying bleeding on the ground, an NVA soldier plunges a bayonet through his
throat and naval cavity rendering him unconscious for a day. It was at this
moment that his life could have gone either way, life or death. For whatever
reasons, Heaven saw it fit that Sgt Hack gain a second, or given his
impoverished rural Kentucky upbringing, a third or even fourth chance at life.
A day after the attack, a LRRP element found him barely alive and medically
evacuated, thus the lone sole survivor of the ambush. <br />
The attack left him with a metal plate in his skull and mouth and a knee injury
that modern medicine at the time dictated amputation. Sgt. Hack fought the
doctor’s advice and after a year after tumultuous physical therapy, he walked
out of the Army Hospital, and became an Army recruiter. The Vietnam War had
become a national embarrassment to a generation that did not possess the
patriotic fervor and dedication as that of their parents that fought in the
Korean War and World War II. The job of an Army recruiter was void of all
glamor as the uniform of the US Armed Services was looked down upon. But in Sgt
Hack’s typical, “Where there’s a will there’s a way” approach, he somehow made
it work. <br />
The Life Of A Warrior is a brief but powerful testimony to the triumphs over
trials and tribulations of former Army Sergeant David Hack. Born in to poverty,
his mettle was continuously tested. From a prior service Coast Guard sailor to
a tried and true battle scarred but hard Army combat veteran, Sgt Hack refused
to take no for an answer and accept defeat. This text, which should be required
for all high school JROTC, college ROTC, and all military academies as well as
collegiate business schools, tells of the challenges and exploits of a man
committed to the American alpha male personified conscious that cries never say
never. After parlaying an old WWII Willys Jeep into an American flag costumed
recruiting vehicle akin to Evel Kneival, he would lose it to a high ranking
officer, only to purchase and “patriotize” a Corvette, thus giving military
service, a sort of sex appeal. As the book details, he was able to make
patriotism en vogue. This lead to his epiphany of merchandise marketing. <br />
As the book details, everywhere that he has gone, he has left an indelible impact
on any and all who encountered him, such as Ohio crime bosses angered at his
disruption of numerous criminal enterprises while serving as a Hudson, Ohio
police investigator after his military retirement. From a failed bar owner,
homeless beach dweller in Florida, street vendor, he managed to catch the eye
of Jeb Bush. Only then did his newly wed wife discover his heroic exploits in
Vietnam, owing to his modesty and concealment of PTSD. <br />
Having a knack for unconventional and unorthodox approaches to business, and
life altogether for that matter, Sgt Hack rests on the “stand by your man”
unconditional love of his wife and borrows $500 from her. Despite challenges
and staunch antagonism, such as the spiteful efforts of an enraged
mother-in-law attempting to sabotage his VA loan, Sgt Hack would transform this
defining moment and throw caution to the wind. Many would perhaps question,
“but why the leather jacket industry?”.<br />
The leather jacket has always held an iconic status in American pop culture,
made infinitely popular by counter culture bikers, and aviation golden age era
aviators. Evel Knieval made the customized jacket popular in the 1970’s with
his numerous high flying motorcycle and dare devil antics. This would be
followed in the 1980’s with the arrival of Harrison Ford’s “Indiana Jones”
character, and Tom Cruise’s military patch clad Naval Aviator G-2 jacket. There
was clearly a market for leather jackets. Owing to his business acumen, he
sought to go into the leather jacket business in a hard shell to crack
business. Intent on winning and winning at all costs, years later, <a href="http://www.uswings.com/">US Wings</a> is
a leader in the military leather jacket and military memorabilia.<br />
Life Of A Warrior, is a great read that tells of the triumphant will of the
underdog to achieve despite, class, income, educational level, and the near
loss of life. Furthermore, it tells of how one man chose to stick to his guns
despite the obvious signs of negative situations and people surrounding him. So
much can be gained by reading such a brief, but powerful testimony of how to be
successful despite adversity. An easy reader, it further tells of how so much
can be obtained with so little. The key ingredients are vision, faith, and
persistence. Just as the enemy NVA soldier failed to pierce his spirit, failure
was not an option for Sgt Hack. This book is the ultimate, “rise from the
ashes” testimony and is sure to motivate any and all who read it. More than
just a book on patriotism, it also answers to business development, marketing,
self help, inspiration, and spirituality. Much can be gained by reading such a
powerful and dynamic text about a man who refused to lose. There’s only one way
to find out how Sgt Hack was able to blunt the efforts of the crime boss who
placed a contract and bounty on his head. Simply read <a href="http://www.uswings.com/the-life-of-a-warrior/">The Life Of A Warrio</a>r.

leather jacket at a very reasonable price. The ordering process was quick and
easy. Not only did I find the perfect jacket for myself, I also orded the exact
jacket for my 8yr.old boy. Being a military veteran, I loved the fact that I was
buying an American made product from another Veteran. (Thank you for your
service). In short, a great American company offering great service and
merchandise. Keep America strong, support American owned businesses and our
Nations Hero's. Thank you, sincerely: </i></span><br />

Bomber Jackets. Two of them are Indiana made by Wested in the UK and A2-Bomber
by US Wings. That's when I got the name of your company. When I saw the price
for A2 modern was reduced from $345 to $195 I immediately grabbed the
opportunity. I ordered one, but haven't received yet; hopefully it will turn up
any day this week.<br />
<br />
I love the Indy-style jacket too. The jackets look good on Harrison Ford. The
style fits the environment in the movie very well. Actually I had one tailored
made by a Pakistani maker recently. It is cheap and not bad quality for the
price I pay. However it is not comfortable to wear. The sleeves are very tight
and the lining along the sleeves are a bit prickly. Also the pockets are too
small, I have a difficulty putting my hands in.<br />
<br />
I didn't realise that the first Indy Jacket was derived from Bomber jacket by
Neil Cooper. I have been under the impression that they are all originally
designed by Wested until I read your article. Seeing that US Wings makes their
Indy jackets using Neil's original pattern, I am very interested in it. <br />
<br />
I will therefore try my luck in the monthly draw. I'll keep my fingers cross!</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span><br />

Harbir survivor and a POW from being shot down over Ploesti Romania. It's a GREAT
goatskin jacket. Substantial weight for cold weather layering yet light enough
for COOL weather. I doubt it will ever wear out due to the quality of the
leather and construction. It was my second A-2 from U S Wings, where I would
ALWAYS purchase my jackets. FIVE STAR rating, great customer service and QUICK
shipping. THANKS US WINGS!!</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"><i>My
experience with US Wings was outstanding, and their Indy jackets are
beautifully crafted. I ordered a Signature Series Adventurer jacket in
Striated Lambskin in Size "L". The jacket is a thing of beauty--the
skin is super thick for lamb. Unfortunately, the jacket didn’t fit me very
precisely. The size “L” fit, but at the same time, it didn’t. I can really
only describe it like this: I felt like I was 16 and wearing my dad’s jacket
(I'm 6', 190lbs, athletic build, usually wear 42R suit coats and have a
43" chest measurement w/ a t-shirt--squarely in the "L"
category). I emailed US Wings about other options and followed up with a
phone call. By email and phone, the US Wings reps were informative and
pleasant…basically, a model of good customer service. The US Wings rep even
recognized my voice from our conversation 10 days prior. After discussing options,
I decided to try a size “M” in the Signature Series; I also ordered a size
“L” in Legend the 30th Anniversary Featherweight Antique Lambskin to compare
cuts. US Wings extended their return time and let me hold on to the Signature
size “L” to compare. As before, the jackets arrived in 9 days to Germany. The
size “M” Signature series fit me perfectly. Although it's not 100% screen
accurate (a feature I wasn't really concerned about), it was the Last Crusade
style jacket I always wanted and it felt great on. I tried on the Legend, and
it too felt great but totally different (it is very lightweight though not
too delicate--though I certainly wouldn't wear it being dragged behind a
truck). What to do with two awesome jackets that were very different? I modeled
them for my wife…she liked the Legend better, due to it being more tailored
and shorter. But I was leaning towards the Signature Series. Then she said,
referring to the Legend jacket, “It looks more Indiana Jones.” That did it
for me...I kept both. I think I “chose wisely.” Thanks to US Wings for their
excellent customer service and fine products...I'm a customer for life.</i></span>

jacket make my entire Christmas holiday season complete, but I had the pleasure
of meeting Sergeant Hack. Being a Kentucky native, I appreciate Sergeant Hack's
story! I read his story that came with packaging! It was an inspiration to me.
I was able to speak with him personally over the phone several times in the

storyteller of all time! I recommend this company when buying the Indy Jacket

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"><i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">I love that 'more
than iconic' indy jacket. it has that aura of 1930's golden age aviation and
old Bogart movies. It wouldn't be out of place in any of those old black and
white movies or Norman Rockwell paintings. It does take some design ques from
some of the prototype jackets designed for airmen prior to the adoption of the
A-2 and G-1 prior to World War II. But along with the undeniable whiffs of
Howard Hughs and his H-1 or Jimmy Doolittle and his GeeBee racer there is a
timeless quality that makes it at home in the most contemporary settings and
sends a message of masculine adventure and daring. You can't deny the
personality of one wearing this gem. I have a leather jacket inherited from my
father now deceased. the jacket is at 8 decades old and bears the scars of
everything from rainstorms to sliding along pavement after dropping a
motorcycle at 40 mph. Say what you want about modern fabrics nothing but
leather could come out of that and still look good enough for a night on the
town. In fact the scrape marks from that particular episode make a great
conversation starter. I men i would still wear it anywhere if it still fit.
That's why I'm so glad this one is available. - motorcycle wreck is optional.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></i></span><br />

This was a woman who could drink a Tibetan Yakherd under the table and plant a

I have two Indy jackets in my closet, among my large collection of leather
flight jackets and post war horse hides. Both are Coopers [of course] and they
are my favorites. The Indy jacket is simple, rugged and has a style that cannot
be denied. There is "fashion" that changes with the wind and there is
"style" which endures all the fashion nonsense.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">I
like the jacket because of its understated, everyday practicality. One does
not normally think of film-ware as being practical, but that's what the
Indy-style jacket is (and just as well since it's based off of real military
jackets that are supposed to be practical in design). Straight leather barrel
cuffs are a rarity on bomber jackets, but that's what sets the Indy-style
apart, along with the straight waist enhanced by the pleated action back and
twin back vents. This makes the jacket much more comfortable and allows it to
be worn in a variety of climates and temperatures, even summer conditions,
provided the appropriate leather type, as opposed to the all-too-common knit
cuffs and waistband which are appropriate for cold conditions, but are
completely inappropriate for much of anything else. The patch pockets are
large and generous, and the hand warmer pockets are something that should
honestly be on any leather jacket made with patch pockets. The snap-shut
storm flap present on Last Crusade and Crystal Skull jackets make for added
protection against the wind, and should have honestly been there from the
start.<br />
<br />
All of this is combined in a timeless, yet understated style and design. The
jacket is plain and draws no unwanted attention to itself, which is keenly
important as a point of practicality, yet it's a true, timeless classic, and
anyone that knows anything about film-ware will recognize it.<br />
<br />
The character of Indiana Jones himself is embroidered as a classic hero.
While an artifact hunting archeologist that could be somewhat considered a
grave robber, he sets himself apart with his honest dealings and respect for
the artifacts in understanding and preserving them, not using them in black
market deals or trying to turn them around for profit. The original movie,
Raiders of the Lost Ark, is an all-time adventure classic, and help
established the Indiana Jones persona in American film history.</span> </div>

jacket I bought from US Wings back in 2008 to wear when I went to see kingdom
of the crystal skull. I had always wanted an Indy jacket I bought a cooper
jacket secondhand on eBay but I quickly outgrew it but when I finally bought
mine from US wings I was so impressed because I finally had an Indy jacket that
fit me and I haven't stopped wearing it since that jacket is a part of my
style. When I put it on it still feels great as like I put it on for the first
time you can feel the spirit of adventure with you as you wear it or at least I
do it makes you feel heroic sharing the same dress sense as one of your
favorite fictional heroes. You may never ever live the life of Indy but having
this jacket makes it feel close to it. Another reason that this is my favorite
jacket is that US Wings history and the fact that they are a Ohio company. I
myself live in Buckeye lake and am proud to wear a US Wings Brand Indy Jacket.</i></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">I had been a fan of
the Indiana Jones movies since they first appeared in theatres. Indy is an
action hero, but with a more complex character and more fully developed human
nature than, for example, Rambo. Indy is an educated man, a degreed
archaeologist and historian, but sometimes still makes an incorrect choice. He
is physically tough, but still exhibits human weaknesses and failings,
suffering pain and bleeding at times. He's a handsome man, but not able to
magically seduce every woman he encounters, ala James Bond. He is cautious as a
result of his experience, but still courageous enough to act when the moment
requires action. Basically, the character of Indiana Jones is an ideal of
sorts, a believable blend of positive and negative attributes, in much the same
way that some of the characters in Greek, Roman and Norse mythology were not
always perfect beings, but sometimes demonstrated flaws which allowed readers
to more fully relate to them.<br />
<br />
Admiring the character of Indiana Jones as I do, I purchased a U.S. Wings
Signature Series VIP jacket in 2009. I was impressed with the gorgeous, soft
cowhide leather, and the sturdy, comfortable nylon lining. The workmanship is
impressive in every detail. Further, the fit is absolutely perfect, Shoulder
width, sleeve length, and fit through the body could not have been better if
the jacket had been made to measure. I still have that jacket and still wear it
regularly. I liked it well enough that over time I purchased two more Signature
Series jackets, one in black goat and another in brown goat. My very positive
experience has made me a fan of the product.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></span><br />

and play in some very rough places, it has become well broken in over the past
25 years. I have had to have the cuffs and waistband renovated, and
a new lining replaced by U.S. Wings who did a great job.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">I love the Indiana
Jones movies because of the strong American values they represent. Indy is
adventurous, courageous, chivalrous, and intelligent. These are a few of the
qualities that has made America the great nation that it is.The Indiana Jones
movies have inspired our children to be brave adventurers and enjoy learning. <br />
<br />
When they were younger, we bought our two children the Indy style jackets from
U.S. Wings. We LOVE them! We hid the jackets and designed a treasure map that
the children followed to find clues that eventually led to the ultimate
treasure, the Indy jackets. Along the way they discovered an Indy fedora that
we also got from U.S. Wings, a whip, and a satchel. Needless to say, this was
the first of many adventures that our boys enjoyed in their jackets. Sadly,
they have outgrown the jackets now and we are considering buying them new
jackets that will fit them at this stage in their life. <br />
<br />
I am proud to say that the Indy jackets we bought from U.S. Wings were of
excellent quality and looked exactly like the one worn by Indiana Jones in the
movies. We thoroughly enjoyed our shopping experience with U.S. Wings and we
look forward to purchasing from you again in the future.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><br />

The Indy jacket is known far and wide and was an integral and significant part of the makeup of the INDIANA JONES character. Whether dashing through the jungle or racing across the desert, the jacket protected Indy from all the elements.</div>

Neil Cooper a former partner of U.S. Wings originally conceived the first pattern for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #4a5f8a; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">INDIANA JONES</a> by combining features of the Air Force A2 and the Navy G1. Eliminating the cuffs and waist band from the A2 and then adding the Bi-Swing back, small side gaps & side adjustment straps with rectangular sliders, the Indy jacket was born. There have been multiple jacket manufacturers who have contributed to the four INDIANA JONES movies but it has been verified that the pedigree originated with Neil Cooper and He in fact supplied 8 jackets for the TEMPLE OF DOOM.</div>

know how happy I am with your repair of my leather jacket. The jacket was made
for me during a tour in Korea 30 years ago and I was never totally happy with
it. A bit large, the wool lining itched and then finally the zipper failed. No one
in my home town had the skills to repair it. Having dealt with US Wings before,
I went to your web site and found instructions for shipping to you. A brief
note was all you needed. When I got it back home today, I found you had gone
beyond my greatest expectations. The lining you supplied was perfect and got
rid of the itching problem. The new zipper is built like a truck. What I did
not expect was the additional work you did repairing loose seams with new,
stronger stitches. It looks like a million bucks. Thank you for exceeding
expectations once again.<br />

Vietnam had a profound experience on Sgt. Hack. Wounded twice, the second time severely, Sgt Hack spent over a year at Ireland Army Hospital at Ft. Knox Kentucky. He feels this time spent with his fellow wounded veterans helped him transition from combat back to the world. The Life of a Warrior recounts his time spent in Vietnam in 1968 from his arrival in March until his medical evacuation in September. </div>

You might ask yourself what does <a href="http://www.sgthack.com/">Sgt. Hack</a>, USA (Ret), have to do with the Navy? GREAT COATS!<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">U.S. Navy Jackets and coats are well known for their warmth. The traditional coats have been the <a href="http://www.uswings.com/product-category/jackets-coats/textile-jackets/us-navy-pea-coats/">Pea Coat</a> and the <a href="http://www.uswings.com/product-category/jackets-coats/leather-jackets/g-1-collection/">G-1</a>. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">The coat of choice of the U.S. Navy for centuries, the Pea Coat is the heavy topcoat worn in cold, miserable weather. The name isn’t derived from the “Pea Soup weather” but rather from the heavy coarse twilled blue cloth it was originally created from. The cloth was sometimes called P cloth and the garment evolved from being called a P-Jacket to later a Pea Coat. Pea Coats have broad lapels, double breasted fronts with large buttons of either wooden, metal, or plastic buttons and slash pockets. The standard for original Pea coats was 30 ounces, most often made of heavy Melton cloth, but today coats are made from 22 to 32 ounces. Known for it warmth in severe weather, the Pea Coat has been worn not only by the military, but has been a staple of students wardrobes at high school and college campuses around the world.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">Traditional US Navy issue Pea Coats are dark blue, but many colors are offered by retailers. Known not only for their warmth but for their durability, US Navy Pea Coats have been passed down through generations.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;"> As time has evolved several new U.S. Navy Jackets have been introduced. The A-2 Deck Jacket and the Shipboard Jacket are new entries. </span><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Issued to Navy Personnel for inclement and foul weather conditions, the A-2 Deck jacket is water repellent and wind resistant. The Shipboard Jacket is a U.S. Navy Jacket issued to Navy crewmen. </span><br />

It was designed to be a flame resistant and versatile jacket that stayed on the ship and was thus named the Shipboard Jacket. In June 2014 it became a standard issued jacket. The Navy has issued this Nomex jacket as a fire resistant, cold weather, windproof alternative to the A-2 Deck jacket.</span><br />

Hundred's of people are entering the Free Indy Jacket giveaway at <a href="http://www.uswings.com/">US Wings</a>. <a href="http://www.sgthack.com/">Sgt Hack's</a> US Wings contest has received overwhelming reviews about what Indiana Jones and his jacket mean to them. </div>
Here are some of them:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">I recently purchased
the US Wings Indy-Style jacket in Kangaroo hide. Bottom line up front: The
quality of material and manufacture is outstanding, the customer service and
shipping speed were exceptional. I look forward to many, many years (perhaps
even multiple generations) of use out of my US Wings Kangaroo Indy-Style
Jacket! Highly recommended!<br />
<br />
On to the jacket- I can't say enough about the cut and fit of this jacket! I
consulted with US Wings customer service (who were extremely helpful), and
based on their advice, ordered a large (I'm typically a size 40-42 jacket,
depending on manufacturer). When I put the jacket on for the first time, I was
stuck by how well it fit! The sleeves, shoulders and chest fell just where I
like them- the collar does a slight "off the shoulder" look as seen
in some of the Indy films, which I love. The stitching is top notch, and
overall quality of the Indy style jacket can't be beat. I have no doubt that
this jacket in any of the available hides would be a winner! <br />
<br />
The kangaroo skin itself is gorgeous. Mine arrived in a whiskey color that's
just stunning! It's a very rich brown, with some depth to it. The leather is
initially very stiff, but some handling seems to soften it up fairly quickly. I
noticed that the leather will go stiff again in absence of handling. It's a
lightweight but very "dense" leather, that I suspect will be very
tough and durable. It will certainly age well and look even better as I get it
broken in. In my opinion, the kangaroo leather is well worth the cost.<br />
<br />
In conclusion I could not be happier with my purchase! US Wings has outdone
themselves!</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span><br />

Raiders of the Lost Ark right now while I'm writing this. I'm again reminded
why I, and I would guess most people, love Indy-style jackets: it's a reminder
of lost times, of adventure, of history, and of excitement. What other item
combines powerful nostalgia with religious imagery? What else mixes history
with fiction, adventure with archaeology? Maybe a vintage Yankees cap? Or
perhaps a pocket knife passed down from a grandfather? For my money, no other
single item conjures up so many feelings as this jacket. It is, quite
literally, like wearing a time machine. It is instant excitement and adventure.
Whether you're walking through a mall in Nebraska, or sitting in a cafe in
Paris, this jacket makes you feel like a legend.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span><br />

back the feeling of being a child again. As a child and still as an adult we
all crave adventure. Indiana Jones was a passport to adventure. My fond
memories of watching the Indiana Jones films with my father are some of my
favorites. My father shared these films with me and now I have the pleasure of
sharing them with the youngsters in my life. As we age we forget the feeling of
excitement, of being sweeped up into amazing storys. But when I share films
like "The Temple of Doom" with my kids, I get that feeling back. All
4 indy films hold a special place in my heart. I am also a bit of a history
buff. Ww2 as a primary interest. The Indy-style leather jacket is an amazing
design. The A2 jacket influence is clear. Such a rugged, timeless style. I from
time to time look over the Internet looking at replica jackets. day dreaming of
jacket ownership. I personally never have owned a indy jacket. But from all the
vendors US Wings seems to be the real deal. Supplying jackets for The Temple of
Doom. Everyone else just makes a copy. I have dicided that when <br />
I do decide to treat myself to jacket, US wings is the only way to go. I have
heard nothing but amazing things. And I love supporting an American business
when possible. Thank you for your time and consideration.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">Ever
since I first saw the Raiders of the Lost Arc it was love at first sight with
that iconic jacket / light coat. The fact that the jacket is rugged enough to
meet the most excruciating demands placed upon it is proven time and time
again in the series of movies. Now that we know it's rugged lets get down to
the tender side. The lack of gathering at the sleeves and waist, plus a bi
swing back means to me that it is comfortable and easy to bundle up in the
colder days with no compromise. The fact, once again proven by the movies and
the ads by US Wings is that this is a jacket that can be dressed up. Beige
pleated pants a denim shirt with tie, and the famous Fedora that US Wings
features 2 different models. Then on the other hand you can slip this on so quickly
with jeans, t shirt, and baseball cap. What more can you ask for in a jacket.
It's one those jackets that becomes what I like to call my " go to
jacket ". <br />
<br />
PS.....Because of the bi swing back you can jump in your car or adventure
vehicle without removing this wonderful look, talk about looking cool while
driving?</span> </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">US Wings Flight jackets are known worldwide for their excellent quality and value. US Wings Flight jackets are available in the finest leathers: Kangaroo, Bison, Horsehide, , Goatskin and Lambskin.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">US Wings Flight jackets are manufactured in several styles, most well known as the A2 or the G1. The A2 Leather Flight Jacket, sometimes referred to as the A2 Bomber Jacket was adopted by the Army Air Corps as standard issue in 1931. The A2 Leather Flight jacket was made famous by the U.S. Army Air Corp airmen of World War II. The first A2’s were made of Horsehide, then Cowhide and then switched to Goatskin in 1943. Fliers and crewmen adorned their jackets with squadron patches and often hand painted nose art replicating their aircraft. All A2 Leather Flight jackets had several distinguishing characteristics: two front snap patch pockets on either side without hand warmer compartments (hands in pockets were considered unfit for a military bearing), snap-down collar, shoulder straps, knit cuffs and waistband, a single piece of leather on the back to limit stress on the garment, and either lightweight silk or cotton inner lining. In 1943 the Army canceled any further leather jacket contracts in favor of newer cloth-shell jackets like the B-10 and B-15. The jackets continued to be popular with Aircrew members for the balance of the war continuing into the Korean War. All contracts from 1988 to 1998 were awarded to Neil Cooper USA, now U.S. Wings of Ohio. According to FLIGHT JACKETS – HELL BENT FOR LEATHER, authored by Derek Nelson and Dave Parsons, the Air Force opted for goatskin instead of the original horsehide because it is very strong but not stiff. Cooper found that at 3.5 skins per jacket, there weren’t enough American goats available to make 53,000 jackets. They had to import goat skins from Nigeria, Tasmania and Pakistan. In 1996 Neil Cooper USA was awarded a contract from the Defense Supply Center, Philadelphia (DSCP), to redesign the A2 Leather Flight Jacket to be more functional and to improve the fit. Side entry pockets were added to the patch pockets and inside wallet pockets were added. The fit was enlarged by adding extra pieces under the arms and on the sides and eliminating the neck clasp.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">The G1 Military Flight Jacket was originally called the M-422A and introduced by the U.S. Navy in the 1930’s. In 1943, this jacket was named by the Navy and the Army Air Forces as the ANJ-3. It officially became the G1 in 1947. The G1 as compared to the A2 leather flight jacket has a fur lined collar, Bi-Swing back & button down flap pockets on the front. Early jackets were constructed of Goatskin and had a real Mouton collar, subsequently some model issue jackets were constructed of cowhide and have synthetic collars. The G1 is issued to new U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine and U.S. Coast Guard flight crew personnel and remains a current-issue item in Naval Aviation for Officers and Enlisted aviation personnel on flying status. In 2011, US Wings, developed a WINGS OF GOLD G1 leather military flight jacket to honor the 100 year anniversary of the beginning of Naval Aviation.</span><br />

<a href="http://www.uswings.com/product-category/jackets-coats/leather-jackets/">Bomber Jackets</a> are very often mislabeled. True Bomber Jackets are the jackets worn by flight crews in the B-17 and B-24 Aircraft. The <a href="http://www.uswings.com/product-category/jackets-coats/leather-jackets/b-3-bomber-jackets/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #4a5f8a; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">B-3 </a>Jacket is the true Bomber Jacket. As the planes were not pressured and had open windows for gun ports, flight crews in the B-17 and B-24 aircraft were exposed to sub-zero temperatures. The crews wore B-3 jackets and pants with sheep wool linings to try to compensate for the cold.</div>

The U.S. Navy pilots wore the G-1 jacket. The A-2 and G-1 Flight jackets are made of leather. The military issue is Goatskin. Many other different types of leather are used in the commercial market such as cowhide, bison, horsehide, lamb and kangaroo.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
“<i>After disembarking
from his ship, the young Coast Guard sailor David Hack found himself on Wake
Island among the skeletal remains of those who had died there. The Japanese who had occupied the island for
the length of the war had never buried the American dead, and America never
used it again as a major outpost. So,
while on Wake Island, Hack took the time to put some of America’s bravest men into
their final resting place…… Unknown to Hack at the time, this was a pivotal
point in his life. He began a
relationship of love and respect for those who had fought and died for their
country, his country. This respect would
permeate his life for the rest of his days.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">Wake Island is a Coral Atoll. Although there is a layer of sand, it is very shallow and covers the Coral foundation on which it is formed. Typhoons and huge waves played havoc in the fifties. Shortly after his arrival on Wake in 1958, Sgt. Hack discovered many bones, uniforms, ammunition and other remnants from the war that had been uncovered by nature. Digging through the shifting sand, Sgt. Hack sent letters, and remnants of uniforms to the University of Hawaii for preserving. He buried scattered bones and made a memorial to those who had fought for our country.</span></span></div>

Included were students from eight northeast Ohio counties, 131 public, private, charter, home and on-line schools. Family, friends, teachers and public officials recognized their commitment to serving our country.</span><br />

This ceremony recognizes those students who have committed to entering the Armed Forces and are recognized by Military leaders, Community leaders, Business leaders and their families. Founded in 2009 in New Jersey by Dr. Kenneth Hartman, “Our Community Salutes” programs have been established in over 40 cities across America. Saluting High School Seniors who are enlisting in our Armed Forces helps recognize the contribution they will be making to our society.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">This is a story of
hope, grit and determination. The author's American journey follows the track
of countless other Americans who started out dirt poor and made a good life for
themselves and their families because they never quit. That is what this book
is all about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">
<br />
The secret of America is HOPE. Why do foreigners risk their lives to come to
America? Because they can breath free. Because they may work 12 hours a day
with a push cart or hotdog stand in the streets, but their families will eat
regularly and their kids will get to go to Public School and read Thomas
Jefferson and Whitman and Louisa May Alcott and Hemmingway. By the third
generation there will be a Steinway Grand in the family living room and a
daughter, who has a scholarship to Juliard, will be playing Mozart to her
family, including a gnarled grandfather and his wife who worked 12 hours a day,
a mother and father who run a corner grocery, a kid brother who is enrolled in
Harvard Medical School and another brother who is attending Marine Corps
Command and General Staff College. DO note that NO immigrants strive to get
into Iran or the middle eastern countries. Why not? Read Sergeant Hack's life
story. <br />
<br />
Every day, millions of us look back on our families lives and say, "Only
in America." Is Sergeant Hack's American Journey as set out in his book,
any different than the journey of millions of others. Nope. That very fact is
what makes his story great. Well done, by God.<br />
<br />
Now, if he could only line his great leather A2 jackets with Nomex (NASCAR
drivers and American flight crews wear it for fire protection) instead of Nylon
(which melts into your skin in a fire), he could add a great chapter in his
life story about how his Nomex lined jackets saved the lives of airmen and
other Americans who were involved in firey accidents.<br />
<br />
Something tells me that Sergeant Hack will, as the saying goes," Get'er
done."<br />
<br />
And thousands of other Americans will get to continue their American Journey,
because one guy named Hack made just one more hard decision on his Journey. And
that has made all of the difference.</span><br />

compelling and inciteful story of one man's journey through life and in
experiencing it's ups and downs and learning how to cope with them. No doubt
had Sgt. David Hack's difficult upbringing change him into becoming the man
that he is today and how he had handled what was dealt him and is a perfect
example of how one could overcome the trails and tribulations of life and
persevere. Sgt. Hack's life story is an inspiration to people like myself as I
am dealing with some seious issues and going through a rough time but makes me
humble and grateful since things could be a lot worse. I know his story will
make a GREAT film and look forward to seeing it.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5em;">I wasn’t alive during Vietnam. However I have a huge appreciation for the history of our country and the men and women who lived through it. They are the only ones who can help us imagine what life was like during a different time. As our veterans are getting older our history dies along with their story. What an honor to hear the story of sgt Hack. It gives me an appreciation for what his life was like.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5em;">The Life of a Warrior” is a testament to the determination, fortitude and backbone of a true patriot. It shows what can be accomplished in this great country. Sgt Hack is truly an example of someone who continually was knocked down and pulled himself up in the face of many diverse hurdles. As a veteran who also served as a Combat Infantryman with the 1st Infantry Division, 28th infantry regiment in Lai Khe 1968, the retelling of his combat experience is a personal accomplishment and brought back my own memories of that year in hell. A job well done and a life well lived Sgt Hack, I salute you.</span></div>

An awe inspiring book about a grass roots person, who honored his older brother and in the tradition of all Military Veterans put his personal needs aside for the betterment of his fellow Americans.<br />
He has earned & brings honor to the title of Nobility in its’ truest sense, by his grand example not just through inheritance.<br />
It is a must read for all elementary & High School students!<br />
Sgt. Hack as so many of his comrades has set the moral pace for both young and old.<br />
Any person that has had many personal struggles in their life should read this book. We need more people in the world like Sgt. Hack.<br />
Well written; brief, but to the point. This book can be read in about an hour. In the time it takes to commute on train to & from work. It teaches a life lesson which shall prove invaluable.</div>

Some times those times seem like they happened on another planet. I served USN 6-67/6-71. I never saw any combat, never left CONUS, never served aboard ship but had honor to serve men from all branches of the US Military. I interviewed thousands of men in transit and in processing through the various military systems and structures, including legal and mental. Reading Sargent Hack’s story brought back a flood of memories.</div>

Many of a man’s interactions with fellow service men are brief and perfunctory. My first job was to work in “Receiving” Norfolk Naval Base. For most of the enlisted personnel assigned to this office the duty was temporary. We ran 24/7/365 and the daily through put of men assisted and processed were so many that at times the lines were backed up out the door and around the building, a never ending stream of faces and needs. Most assigned this work quickly burned out. For me this became the most fascinating job I could ever had. As each man stepped up to my window I had a few seconds to look him over, listen to needs, questions and take care of him in a way that best suited his circumstances within the system’s capability.</div>

A service man’s uniform tells a lot of things about him, his rank, his speciality, where he has served, his campaign ribbons, but there is still much that is written in the face and in the eyes. Once you have looked into the eyes of a combat veteran you quickly understand that combat changed him and left an indelible mark. I learned to recognize these men. Most often their needs were ordinary. As a rule it required opening and reading the man’s military record. I learned to swiftly scan the recorded information, double checking my evaluation. Thus within in 60 seconds I had already learned more about him than he would ever guess. I always strived to give each man the best service. For the combat veteran the extra mile for his needs became my honor and my duty.</div>

It has been almost half a century now but I recently learned some things from a 1st cousin of mine who served in the Navy in the same time frame as I. He went on to become a police officer who went into the army to become a helicopter pilot, got out and served the US Border Patrol until he retired. His parents divorced and his mother returned to Kentucky where he was raised in poverty similar to that as Sgt. Hack’s as a young boy. At the age of 13 already starting down the wrong road his maternal grand mother contacted his paternal grand mother who contacted his father. His father traveled back to Kentucky, and returned to the west with his son. My cousin went into the Navy right out of high school. Having myself been divorced under less than ideal circumstances I had an understanding of how things can work so that a father can be forced to be cut out of the lives of his children. I had a special affection for this uncle, a WWII veteran who returned from Europe to quickly marry and quickly divorce. However, my cousin confessed to me that he still carried anger, bitterness, and resentment towards his now departed father.</div>

Reading Sgt. Hacks biography touched a lot of tender places for me. Having looked deeply into the eyes of combat veterans of ground war, of air war, and sea war I have an unending appreciation of the sacrifice of so many so that the many more could live in peace.</div>

My father, four uncles and a grand father all veterans, three combat veterans, and in recent ancestry research found a family tree filled with veterans, and a few villains. In 1917 my paternal grand father’s younger brother took his place in the draft and died in combat in France at 11:00 AM, November 11, 1918. I’m confident Sgt. Hack would find the same truths in his family’s history.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many False Statements regarding the military career of <a href="http://www.sgthack.com/">SFC David D. Hack</a> has been circulated by certain individuals and groups. Jim Carney of the Akron Beacon Journal wrote this story to confirm <a href="http://sgthack.com/statement-of-service-and-medical-records/">Sgt. Hack's military Record</a>:</span><br />
<br />
"<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;">A federal agency in charge of military personnel records admitted it made errors in releasing records last year concerning Hudson mayoral candidate David Hack.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
It also apologized for the gaffes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
The military record of Hack, a former Army recruiter who gained national notoriety in the late 1960s and 1970s, became an issue during the campaign.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
One issue raised was whether Hack retired as a specialist (SPC) or as a sergeant first class (SFC).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
Official military records of Hack released by a group called the POW Network showed that Hack’s final rank was specialist. Hack maintained that he retired as a sergeant first class.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
The National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis has sent a letter to Hack’s attorney, Gregory Bean, acknowledging that the records it sent to the POW Network had an incorrect final rank.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
Hack, 72, who owns USA Wings, a military clothing and paraphernalia company in Hudson, lost the election to incumbent William Currin.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
The agency’s letter, which was included in a full-page advertisement in Wednesday’s Beacon Journal, admits that it made errors in the release in Hack’s service number, rank and place of entry.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
“Though no words of mine can change the fact that an error was made or lessen the impact it has had on your client, it is my hope that you would agree that the actions we have taken since becoming aware of the error have been responsive and appropriate,” wrote Scott A. Levins, director of the agency. “I sincerely apologize for our error and for any adverse impact experienced by Mr. Hack.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
During the campaign, questions were also raised as to whether Hack, who had served in the Coast Guard before joining the Army, was an Army Ranger. Hack has said that while he trained Rangers, he did not enter Ranger School.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
Hack filed defamation lawsuits last year against former WKYC television reporter Eric Mansfield, himself a retired Ohio Army National Guard major, as well as the TV station, Mayor Currin and 25 John Does.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
Hack’s attorney dismissed the claim against Mansfield, now a spokesman for Kent State University, and the others in April.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
Hack noted that he paid for Wednesday’s advertisement “to set the record straight.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
Last July in a Hudson ceremony, U.S. Rep. Steve LaTourette, R-Bainbridge Township, presented Hack with a Purple Heart, a medal he said he had never received.</div>

Hack also said the records and acknowledgement from the federal government of errors and the agency’s apology prove that his military record is legitimate and that he is not a military fake.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px 10px 5px 3px;">
“I served my country, I served my country well and I am proud of it,” he said.</div>

WKYC aired a story this month confirming that Hack had indeed retired as a sergeant first class."</div>
