or the next nine years. The wing had three assigned squadrons, the 612th, 613th and 614th Fighter Squadrons. In 1965 and 1966 most of the operational squadrons of the wing were transferred to Pacific Air Forces and moved to Japan or the Republic of Vietnam. The 401st earned the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for war support effort between 1 January, 1963 through 31 December, 1963. From February 1964 to November 1965, the wing's squadron deployments shifted to the Far East and Southeast Asia in support of operations in that area. In November, the wing's 612th Tactical Fighter Squadron moved to Misawa Air Base, Japan. The 90th Tactical Fighter Squadron was attached to the wing before moving to Bien Hoa Air Base, Republic of Viet Nam. The wing then briefly returned to support operations in Europe-Middle East.

Today, June 14th – Flag Day – and by no coincidence, is the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation officially designating June 14 as Flag Day. 33 years later – on August 3, 1949 – Congress finally acted to establish “National Flag Day

Our U.S. Army soldiers are all volunteers. They are brighter, better educated, and in far better physical condition than their civilian peers. Notwithstanding the extraordinary hardship of repeated, prolonged separations, the inevitable stress of combat, and the danger and uncertainty attached to their “work,” they generally express greater “job satisfaction” than their non-military counterparts.
