First off, I'd like to thank all of you for your service and wish you all a sincere Welcome Home! My Dad served in the 589th in B co. thru 68 to early 69. I've been trying to help him locate some of his brothers without alot of luck but it looks like this is my best chance yet! His name is Robert (bob) Patterson. If any of you remember him, or even could help us find old photo's online of nha trang, around the bases and some other memories for him I couldn't tell you how much it would mean to him. Many of his photo's and memento's of his service were lost a few years ago. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. would love to have a nice suprise for him when he returns from his well deserved fishing trip. please contact me at Gobucks76@yahoo.com One quick little thing i'd like to share... Since I was a little boy I've always had a great interest in the Vietnam war because of my Dad and have looked up to all of you as heroes, and as i grow older that sentiment only grows.So recently he took me to a big viet vet gettogether for breakfast with 26 other vets ranging all branches. And I have to say, it was the most amazing and humbling experience of my life. The stories were amazing, the kinship they shared undescribeable and it was an experience I'll never forget. God bless each and everyone of you that has answered our nations call. Thank you for your time. Thank you for your service, Thank all of you for being my hero for all these years, and sincerely Welcome Home men (and women), Job well done!

Thanks Perry and team for another great reunion.

Li ke you I was withthe 87th from Nov.1 68 until end of June 69. When the 87th went home,I think the 643 Pipe Line Co. was under the 35th group at south beach Cam Ranh Bay.When the 643 P L deactivated.I went D.Co.589th at Phu Quy. Dave Jonson, from the 87th trying to get reunion togeather Oct. 4-7 2012 at Fort Leonard Wood. Give him a shout. djohnson87theng@yahoo.com.

In the fall of 68 I was in C Company, 87th Eng. That fall we had a platoon of the 513 Dump Truck Co. stationed with us for a couple of months. I think they stayed untill the 87th went home in Jan. 69, when I went to the 589th.

See you guy's on Thursday, keep the beer on ice.

Richard (Dick) Ellis, Come to the reunion nezt and meet a lots of Brothers that were in D Co.In fact there is going to some of us that help form the unit at Fort Hood, Tx.

Hello everyone, I came up with a couple of names while on the 84th's guestbook that might be interesting. One Brother claims to have been the Company Commander of the 513th DT from 67-68 and stated that his unit was attached to the 589th, his name is Patrick Meyers and last E-Mail address is pwmeyers@bell south.net and his home address is or was 3584 SW Zullo Street, Port St Lucie, Florida. Another Brother with the same Dump Truck Unit was there in 68, he states that the whole Unit was Reassigned to the 589th, his name is Max K Stephens and his last known E-Mail address is maxand carolann@yahoo.com and his home address is P.O. Box 1442, Tonaasket, Wa 98855. There seems to be a lot of swapping of Units between the 84th and 589th. That's it for now, Take Care Brothers and God Bless You All.

It's been a long time sence the Nam. I miss ya all a great deal. Today my memory is about shot but I do remember some. I was with D Co. from 4/68 to 4/69. Would love to hook up with some of the guys though. Welcome home Brother. It's nice to know D Co. lives on. Dick!!

Willie, I to am proud to have served my Country, you beat me by 5 years as I served a total of 19 years, 15 years with the RI Army National Guard and 4 years regular Army. The Military made me the man I am, then and now and I'll be forever grateful for that.

Jim, I gave 24 years of my life for my country and am proud of every minute of it. I would do it all over again. Enjoyed every day of it.

Willie, Thank you for the information you provided, I went on the 84th's website and there was some Company swapping going on, I read it in their Quarterly Reports. It's pretty amazing that as time goes by, you learn more about your time in the past. Also, you should be proud of being with the 589th and proud of serving your Country at such a difficult time, Vietnam was not such an easy time in our lives. Thank you for your service and Welcome Home Brother.

If I remember correct. When we first got to Nam B Co of the 84th was already at An Khe. When D Co moved to An Khe In 67, our B Co became B Co of the 84th and there B Co became B Co of the 589th. It was a long time ago, but I do remember the 589th swapping Cos. So maybe we changed C Cos too. But I am proud to say I was a member of the 589th.

Nick, Thank you for your kindness, my intent was not to offend anyone in any way, if I did, I'm sorry. Perry has already contacted me on the Orders I have. I made him a copy, It's in the mail to him. Perry sent me a copy of C Company's Morning Report from the time I was there and everyone that's on my Orders are in that Report plus the rest of the Men that were in C Company from that time. Is it possible that there were two C Company's at the same time because I don't recall seeing the names of my time with the Members of the Association that served with C Company during the same time period, unless I missed the names on the Morning Report? If there was a Present C Company, how do you move a Whole Company of the 84th and Change to C Company? Regardless, I was proud to have served with the 589th and Welcome Home to You and the Men and Women that Served Our Country and God Bless the Men and Women that are Serving Today. This time, I spelled Bless right.
