Nick, you can count me in for the reunion.Knees hurt, Back hurts. But can count me in. Just think this will be number 6. Can't get any better. :

Bob has nailed with it his comment on being aware of members that have passed. We are working on a procedure that will accomplish this. It will start with our Board of Directors but each of you will need to help us. Watch for an email soon on how we plan to do this. Thank you to Bob for a great introduction in what we plan to do. Hope this finds you all well and you in the southern snow belt warm!

Although the news saddened me, I appreciate Perry sharing the death notices of two of our Brothers. The information sparked my interest in to find out just how fast we Vietnam veterans are dying – it feels as though it occurs far too frequently. After searching for the statistics it became apparent that the statistics are not very reliable – some sources indicate that out of the 2,709,918 veterans who served in country, only one-third of us are still alive today, and at this rate we will all be gone within a couple of years. Those numbers are obviously wrong and were probably developed by a highly paid non-veteran government bureaucrat. A realistic number is that 300 of us die each day – 10,000 of us each year. And that rate will increase as we age. My conclusion: with the Grim Reaper casting that large a net, he is bound to catch some of us with every throw. We simply cannot allow our Brothers to pass without the final recognition they deserve. If we cannot find the means to recognize their achievements as they pass, how can we expect the public to do so?

Once again I am saddened to report that I have confirmed from their obituaries that two more of our members have passed away without our knowing about it.

Charlie Walker from A Co passed away on 7-15-2012 and Hoyt Woods from B Co passed away on 3-4-2010.

I think we need to talk about how to keep in contact with all our Brothers a little better so that years don't go by before we find out we have lost one. It was too hard to find them to not have the resolve to stay in contact with them!

Rest in peace Brothers.

Looks good to me Bill.

Hard to find a suitable picture as there are not many of me in Nam left. Being able to put names to pictures is easier with pictures from Nam. At least for me it is. If this doesn't work you'll be hearing from me later Perry. May need some help with the Gravatar.

By the way, where are all the Avatars? I thought Hickox would jump on this feature for sure. :confused:

Hey Guys,
I have reluctantly‎ installed a more difficult CAPTCHA to make it harder for the Spammers out there that just posted over 100 bogus messages.

Sorry about that but this is nothing new and we have always had to deal with it so it is what it is.

Just enter the first group of numbers or text followed by a space and then the second group.

If this does not stop the spam I will need to put the Guestbook "On Approval" which means your post will only be accepted after we approve it. Thanks for your patience!

Hello, hope everyone is making plans to attend the reunion this year! We are planning on a good time for everyone. I also wanted to test this after all the junk entries that were made. Welcome Home!
