I have a lighter that my brother had. He has passed away and I have attempted a few times to locate the owner of this lighter. The lighter reads 589th ENGr. BN.on back with a symbol with a sword. Vietnam '67-'68 on front. There is a first name on back also. I will with hold that for now. If anyone knows how I could actually find this person with only first name, please contact me. Thank you and thank you all for your service.

31 JAN 1968 was when TET fell that year. I remember so well that all of C Company was sent to Qhi Non airfield to pull security as additional manpower to protect the airfield. I remember riding to the airfield in the back of a 2 1/2T and for the first time seeing dead bodies as a result of the war. There were bodies in rice paddies half in and half out of the water and along the roadway. I had been in country a little over a month and it was my first contact with the real war, and I did not like it nor like how I scared I was! It was reassuring to watch the F4's dropping napalm and knowing they were the good guys! I guess it being 55 years ago it brought back memories and made me feel old and want to see all of you at reunion!

Very well said David! I will be there too! It is not too early start planning! We have been very lucky in seeing those we were in Nam with and making many new friends by attending Reunions. Love you all Brothers!

It is anew year. I have read all the obits. for the last couple years. I am truly sadden. I am sure we will lose more this year. Our numbers are getting smaller. I wish everyone that can make it come to the reunions. I will be there. I want to say I love you all. I have made allot of new friends thru the reunions. I hope to see you all this reunion. God bless all of you.

Merry Christmas and a happy and safe new year to all my 589th brothers.

My grandson is taking a journalism class and he wanted to interview me about Viet Nam. I wanted to give him some sort of accurate information. what you told me is what he got.

Hey Bruce, regarding your questions about D Company 67-68 and the places we worked, If you get Dennie and Larry's book 'Engineers at War in Vietnam' it has all of the information you are seeking and that we have forgotten. It's available on this site from the PX. In short we landed and stayed briefly at Cha Rang then moved to Cu Lam Nam base camp, then Vinh Thanh Special Forces base for Air field construction, then Camp Radcliff at An Khe former 1st Cav base also ROK hospital at An Son. I'm not sure of what happened at Kon Tum as after April 68 I was home thanking God for a safe return .

Thank you for your follow up Perry. He left so quick I did not get his info. Thank you too Fritz!

We have welcomed new member Gary Cossey to the 589th Association. Gary came to this year's reunion but we did not get his contact info there. But Fritz was able to find his phone number and passed it along to me. I spoke to Gary for quite a while yesterday and welcomed him to the association. Gary was a crane operator in C Co. and is now listed on the C Co Membership page.

Anyone interested in his, or any of our Member's, contact info can fill out the contact request form by clicking the link at the top of this page or any of the membership pages.
