To Wayne Heidtke title The Sand In the night I listen to sand blowing in my ears, and eyes and become aware of the silance of the land While I stand guard my buddies rest their weary bodie`s in the sand and all is quiet Yet there is movement to my front and the night lights up with guns a blazing, and rockets, and bombs bursting all around Night is now bright as day and men screm in fright and touch only the sand,looking for a friend or foe Yet only it`s the sand in your restless drreams, as you awake to find all is quiet lying in the sand

It is with great sorrow to inform you that one of our brother's and a great friend of mine ,Lynn B. Hunter passed away last night. my prayers go out to the family and friends of Lynn's John Van Zelf

A tremendous THANKS to the organizers and staff of the 2011 Reunion. What an outstanding event: the best being the opportunity to see all who attended. I'll be the first to admit, remembering names and faces was not easy. But the openness and greetings eased the tension and immediately created a family feeling and environment. I know I must have missed several but limited time is my only excuse. Barb, my wife, and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire reunion and look forward to the next. We encourage all to start planning now: especially those who have been hesitant to attend. This is truly an exceptional opportunity to continue, renew, and expand friendships. I owe personal emails to several and hope to get to these soon (yank my chain if you do not). Again, thanks to Perry & Lynda, Randy & Brenda, plus all those who helped make this a fabulous reunion. Our very best to all. Be of good cheer and have a great day. RICH & BARB

I want to let you all know how great it was to see you all at the reunion! Every year I enjoy it more and more. It was great to see so many there for the first time. If you are reading this and have not been before you really need to try attend next year. I also want to thank everyone for electing me as a Vice President. I will do my best to help keep this great organization going and growing. Let me know your thoughts and what you would like to see us do. We are all brothers and we need to help each other. Thanks for your freindship most of all!

To Frank Dees, I think I remember your Dad, if you could supply us with a pic of your Dad in Vietnam, maybe we could remember him. My son is a Marine officer and I always let him know how C company helped save the "devil dog's at Khe San. Come to next years reunion, we would be happy to talk to you. Mike

To Frank Dees - it is good to here from you. Perhaps your Father's commendation medal will provide some information as to what he did in C Company. We had two platoons that did building construction; one that did earthmoving; one that did equipment maintenance; and one that provided admin/logistics support. Your Father's name is familiar, but I can't quite place him. Most of C Company membership in the 589th Association currently consists of earthmoving members. We are trying to find more members from the other platoons. This Guestbook and the links and Issues section will provide much information about our time in Vietnam. Come to the 2012 Reunion in Branson and hang out with us C Company guys and listen to the BS. Most of us in Company C Earthmoving were involved in rescuing the Marines at Khe Sanh (oh how Marines hate to hear that). Take care. Larry

My name is Frank Dees and I just found my dad's record book as my mom was cleaning out the attic. From what I can gather from his Army Commendation Medal he was Charlie Co, 589th Engineer BN, (construction) in Vietnam May 23, 1968 - May 29, 1969. He passed away in 1994 but not before raising three sons, two of us Marines and OIF veterans. If I can provide more information on him or learn more about all of you and his time in Vietnam, please let me know. He never spoke much about it but it definitely impacted him for the rest of his life. Thank you all and God bless! Frank Dees

Mike Bilicko. I too was with D Company 1968-69. I remember An Khe and Don Duong. How do I get in contact with you? Your name does not appear on any roster.

The Goodmans made it home in good shape, had a wonderful trip. We've made it to two reunions, and enjoyed meeting all of you and listening to the stories about Nam. It was good to know that Norm was with such a great group of guys. We would like to thank you for making us honorary members of the 589th Engineering Bn. This is a real honor. Thanks again, hope to see all of you next year. God bless!
