Back to Francis Pugliese: I am on the roster, can't understand why you cannot see my info. email--mjbilicko@gmail.com phone--970-874-0407

My father, James Ingalls, was a member of the 589th Battallion Company D and served in Vietnam from late 1969 - 1970. My family recently lost him to a prolonged illness. In his final days with us, he spoke about his time in Vietnam. Although he was a lifetime member of the VFW, he never really spoke about his time in the service until then. He spoke about the strong relationships that he had with people during his time there. If there is anyone that remembers my Dad, and would feel like sharing their thoughts with me about him, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your service to all of you that did and still do!

An amazing mother and father, that flooded us with love... thank you men for all you did for us... and letting me have my dad!!! Abbey L. Nichols-Old

To All, I am not at this time going to push this Veterans Discount with Home Depot because from the feedback I've been receiving from some of my fellow War Veterans, Home Depot's Policy has not taking effect in other areas of the Country. The only reason I pushed this Issue is because they gave the Discount Year Round and then they took it away. To me, it was the Principle of it, if they never gave it, their would be no Issue, however they gave it and took it away and that's what upset me the most. Home Depot needs to treat all Veterans Equally, end of story. Thanks Carp for your support and Thank You All For Your Service, Jim

I was with the 589th for a short period of time at Ft Hood Texas I was in formation the day they left Ft Hood and they called my name out of formation and told me to report to the orderly room The 1st Sgt told me that I was not going to Vietnam with the 589th that I was being reassigned to the 32nd Engineer Group (I think it was the 32nd) stayed there until August than got my orders to go to Vietnam, I was assigned to the 71st Transportation Battaliion at Long Binh, was a stevadore at Newport my whole year there Enjoy your website, check ours out at the 71st

To All, After E-Mailing Home Depot twice, they finally responded to me and their Policy Stands, you either have a VA ID Card with Service Connected Printed on it or an Active Military or Retired ID Card. Even on the Veteran Holidays, you still need the same. Lowe's is much Simpler, Military ID'S or just a VA Id Card and on Veteran Holidays, if you do not have these cards, a copy of your DD-214 will get you a Discount. I E-Mailed Home Depot a third time to let them know I thought their Policy wa discriminating and never heard back from them. I ask you all to Boycott Home Depot this Veterans Day comingup and take your business elsewhere. Thank You And Happy Veterans Day To You All. Jim. Thank you Cecil and Perry for your responses.

i went to home depot in moses lake washington yesterday , when i walked threw the doore i went to the front desk and ask if they still give a 10% discount to all vets not just disabled ones and the answer was yes we do , all vet get a 10% of , so it must be up to the store weather they give to all or some , carp 589the march 66 - oct, 67

l was told at my home depot jamestown ny that all you had to be was A VETERN for the discout. an that it was all the time not just vet/day. we may need help from the v.f.w.good luck cecil

To All, I just visited the Home Depot in South Attleboro Massachusetts yesterday, 10/22/2011 to buy a pallet of wood pellets for the heating system and when I showed My VA ID Card, I was told because it did not have a service connected disability printed on it, I could no longer get a 10 % discount except on the Veteran Holidays. I sent an E-Mail off to Home Depot when I returned home and I am waiting to hear what they have to say. If I am correct, it took Home Depot quite awhile to give this discount to Veterans on a year round basis. Lowe's has been giving the 10 % year round, not just on the Holidays. I just wanted to let everyone know that this happened and I'll wait to see what Home Depot has to say before I complain to much and if that's their policy, I'll shop elsewhere . Happy Veterans Day To You All.

I just found this site, "GREAT WORK" I was with 58th Field Depot, and ran the road scraper unit that ran all nite bringing the hill to the depot. We later laid the steel planking and welded it for storage. Saw much of your work, thanks. Anyone remember the Downtown fuel tank satchel charge. Sincerely Mike Little
