Update on MCAS Yuma HAWK Display campaign:
​
Marines,
I've sent a letter to the Secretary of the Army Daniel P Driscoll, and asked about obtaining a HAWK launcher and three dummy missiles for a replacement display at MCAS Yuma, AZ. Some marine green paint has changed Army to Marine before. I've also sent letters to members of Congress requesting their support, endorsement and influence with Secretary Driscoll. Letters were sent to my Florida Senators Rick Scott & Ashley Moody because I'm from Florida. I also sent letters to members of Congress from California, Arizona and North Carolina, because Marine HAWK units were stationed in those states.

Hopefully, there will still be some HAWK equipment at the Letterkenny Army Depot in Chambersburg, PA or the Sierra Army Depot in Herlog, CA. Both were heavily involved with HAWK systems of the Army and foreign military sales. If you would like to help, send a note to your Congressman and Senator. Click on the link below to find them.
