For those of you who are trying to remember specific events, go to the ORLL section of the History part of this web site. A group of us are also working on having a 589th history book ready for the 2014 Reunion. We are currently at 68 pages including 16 pages of photographs.

To Billy Brown (Old Jail Bird)-
Billy - happy to hear from you, but sorry to hear about your medical issues. Hang in there. You and I went to Heavy Equipment School together. The old barracks at Fort Leonard Wood were there until the early 1990s; now the area is housing. We loved the cooks, especially those of us who on occasion lived on C-rations for long periods of time. Take care. Larry

Don't want hurt anyone feeling, but the soldier that got killed b the Korean guard was David Enmon. Robert Adams was the team leader. I think about every day. I just can't get it out of my mind. I guess we all have members of that time. Hey, you guys come to the reunion in Sep. would like to see all of y'all. Remember we all love one another as Brothers in Arms.

Thanks Bruce After 47 years names and faces are hard to remember. I used to drive by that bridge on a dailey run to Quin Non to pick up supplies, I don't think I ever heard the details. I just remember Cpt Harbach anouncing his loss the next morning.

his name was Robert Adams,he was in D co. 2nd const. platoon,in my squad.Bob was a speck 5 and my friend.he took the train and the boat with us to nam.our first detail was to assist in guarding that stupid bridge where he lost his life.all day long we watched those Korean soldiers move up and down the banks of that river.we saw the local fishernen using explosives to kill fish.we were in a bunker on the inland side of the bridge and on the left side of it.there were lots of what looked like sugarcane growing along the banks and we could see what looked like trails in them, that the Koreans made.when the night came we saw them hide.that night Bob thought he`d go down there spook the one we could see,he never came back.real early the next morning there were Korean MPs and lots of brass everywhere as they brought Bob out of the cane.the Korean soldier had hand cuffs on and his head hanging low.I have lived with all my life,with hope no one would remember.I was just 18,nam only got worse

i ran out of space on my other comment , i did not say those things to hurt or make anyone any less proud of there country or what we did in the service , i posted it because it just is not fare to let our American born kids have to take a second place to others that have came here by the thousands ,i don't know what our leaders are thinking , these people that have came here by the thousands ran from there country so what makes our government think they will help defend this one , sorry brothers , i love my kids as you love your s and now we have to fight right here at home in order to try to give our American born kids the same chances we had , thank you brother , and please try to understand i am not trying to make any one feel bad just voicing my opinion , R G carpenter :bonk: :mad: ;D :smash:
