Tom, Sorry I screwed up the other message. Old age showing up. HAHA!

Tom, I am a menber of the Legion and VVA. They help me gey mine. I just enjoy helping other vets. Itis so many veterans out there that needs help, and I enjoy helping them. GOOD TO CHAT WITHYOU BROTHER, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

This is for Nick and Willy --- then I'll shut up and get out of your guest book. I was the County Veterans Service Officer in Peoria County, Illinois for 14 tears, and served 2 years as President of the Nat;l. Assoc. of County Veterans Service Officers (NACVSO). You both have the right idea --- keep after the VA! If you try to do it all on your own, you will be barking at the tree for way too long. Use the Vetrans Organization Service Officers to represent you in your claims and appeals to the VA (Legion, VFW, DAF, AMVETS, NACVSO). These guys are highly trained and educated to assist us (Vets) with VA claims. You'll find them at every VA Regional Office, most VA clinics and the CVSO's are usually at the County Courthouse. Every State Veterans Affairsd Office also has trained Service Officers throughout thir respective States. Good luck to all of you; remember, "Non Illigitimus Carborundum !"

Nick Kallas, You never know what you can do until you try. Took me 2 years to get mine. Gald you got it . Get the other 30% . Don't give up BROTHER, go for it.

Thanks to all my buddies who promted me to go to the VA about agent orange and how it relates to type II diabetes and heart problems. I have both and have been rated at a 70% diability. Never would have went without you guys encouraging me. To all others--go and get signed up! Used part of the first check to mail in sign up for life with the 589th!

Follow-up in my search: More clues --- The fact that the jacket has a USARV combat patch indicates that the individual may have been an early member and extended his tour to transfer for an "early-out." The GCM indicates he was 'RA' and served 3 years. The jacket has SP5 rank insignia. There is no Vietnam Cross of Gallantry unit citation ribbon with w/frame above the right pocket. He may have left the unit before the time frame for the award. Any help will be appreciated.

Herb BCo 84th become BCo 589th In 67 right after we got Nam. I was in DCo 589th when we moved from Cha Rang to An Khe. I Am one of the boat people WELCOME HOME BROTHER AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Saunders Insignia currently has 25 of the 589th crests in stock. Web page www.saundersinsignia.com, item number C4412Y. The person from Saunders who called me was "Anna" from 1-800-442-3133 extension 203.

Hello brothers, just wanted to see what was going on. I just made reservaions for this year at Branson. I was wondering if any of ya'll might have your old reel to reel with the tapes from Nam that is in working condition. Yea,-----------I know I sold my for 45 dollars after a few years. If so we could mybe use it instead of changing cds all the time. Let me know if anyone has a unit we could use. cell 407 808 2981 or e-mail thanks Randy

I'm asking for some 'search' help. I am in Princeville, Il. (pop. 1700). We have an Historical Museum here wich has a really great military history area, highlighting llocal men and women wo have served in all wars and in the service in general. As an amatuer historian (MMH Norwich Univ.) I have been asked to find a name. We have an Army green uniform 'blouse' (jacket) with "Mountain Mover" crests on the epulets, Engineer lapel brass, a USARV combat patch and a GCM, NDSM, VNCM w/1 bronze star and VNSM ribbons. On the inside of the collar label, written in blue ink, are the initials " L.D.."---- nothing else. based on the single campaign star, I think the individual was either in the Battalion at the beginning of the RVN deployment 1967), or at the end (1971). If anyone remembers anyone from the Princeville IL. area, with the initials L.D. or mention of relatives from the area, it would be of great help and much appreciated. Thanks P.S. Welcome home to all of you --- we aree all brothers. Tom
