Happy 4th of July everyone!

All of you guys that have not attended a reunion, you don't know what you have been missing.

Myrna, thank you very much for the nice words. I know my family feels the same way. We are proud to have your Dad as a member and a Brother!

My daddy, Robert Hickox is a member of this amazin group of soldiers. Im very Proud of him, and the legacy has given to my children/grandchildren.

First off let me extend my families deepest sympathy for the survivors and loved ones of those who have passed this year. Our prayers are always with you and yours, and hope with all our heart that peace will find its way to you and yours. With so much sadness this year it is difficult to be light and positive about things. Our experiences have truly taught us to love one another , and that is what absolutely counts. Still hoping to make it to the reunion and see some of y'all this year. God Bless , Nodof!

No matter where you have it. it will always be in the wrong place for some people.If you want to go you will go,If you don't want to go you will find all kind's reason's not to go

hello brothers . i understand about having to travel to Bronson . i also live on the west coast and am going for the first time this year . sure it would be nice to fly right to the reunion .i am going to rent a car in Kansas city and drive there myself .i am not much on driving any more. i put on a bow fishing tournament for years and there is one hell of a lot of work. so until some one changes things or we have 2 a year i will just be happy there is a reunion to go to . :clap: so hang in there brother and come join us . at our age its a pain to go to the mail box lol . its all love brother . thank you carp c co. em platoon 66-68

I sympathize with the guys from the East Coast regarding the reunion location, because I come from the West Coast each year. If we had a meeting here, someone would have to plan and coordinate it, and I don't want to do all of that work. So I save my pennies and travel to Branson. It is well worth the hassle of getting there. I meet great people from HHC, Co B, Co C, and Co D - and the Co A heathens who are always amusing. I am totally satisfied that the reunion location was fully researched and properly discussed and voted on by the membership even though I am one of 3 people who has to travel the greatest distance to get there.

Great job Nick, I like Paul have not been to a reunion, but plan on going in 2015 where ever you have it. It's not about the location it's about the members and renewing old friendships.keep up the great work.
Thanks again
Howard

Great job on comments about the reunion. It is unfortunate that all the work that has been done to create our association and organize 6 reunions is expected to be ignored for a "chosen fews"convience.My wife and I have missed only one when I was recovering from surgery. We make the trip a vacation,Wedding anniversary and reunion and enjoy the DRIVE

Nick,
Brother you hit the nail on the head. I attended my first one in 2010 and have not missed one since. I know times are hard, but we save for this trip every year. We have made so many new friends in the past 4 years and we enjoy see them every year. So I am asking everyone that was with the 589th Engr Bn to come to our reunion join our Asso. We welcome you with open arms. We have fun and want you to have fun with us.

NICK

As I see my comments please read them starting with the lower one and read up. I should have posted them in reverse order.
