Belated best wishes for all my brothers on Veterans Day.
Just saw the note that Jim Clower passed. One of the good guys whom I always enjoyed talking to on the phone. May he Rest in Peace.

Stay safe and well.

Happy late Veterans Day to the brothers of the 5 89th Engineer Battalion

So sorry to hear about Jim! Thoughts and prayers to the family!

Got a call today from Tom Leasure informing us of the passing of Jim Clower, B Co. Jim was a Great American that I came to know very well through many phone conversations and emails. He faithfully represented the 589th as a HOF Volunteer for Jessie James Tyler.

I regrettably am unable to post a proper obit for Jim on the Latest News page due to computer issues. Here is what I have so far:

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of James Harold Clower of Columbia, South Carolina, who passed away on November 10, 2020, at the age of 75, leaving to mourn family and friends. Family and friends can send flowers and condolences in memory of the loved one. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of James Harold Clower to pay them a last tribute.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, November 17th 2020 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Shives Funeral Home, Trenholm Road Chapel (7600 Trenholm Rd Ext, Columbia, SC 29223). A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, November 18th 2020 at 12:30 PM at the same location.

Happy Veterans Day to all of my brothers who served with the 589th.
Keep our fallen brothers in your prayers.
WELCOME home brothers.
God Bless,
Pete Tamas B Company Earth Movers

Very well said Brother! Best wishes to all you Brothers! Welcome Home!

589th Brothers- Please accept my Best Wishes for a happy and meaningful Veteran's Day, November 11th. How people's attitudes toward Vietnam Veteran's have changed over these fifty plus years. When people understand now that I am a veteran, I almost always get a thoughtful "Thank You For Your Service" comment. How different from those days after we returned home back then and experienced the public's concept of who we were and what we had so unselfishly done for our country.

My best regards too to our 589th Association Board Members who do so much for us and who don't normally get the accolades that they so rightfully deserve.

Cirilo Silva was hit 5 times by an AK 47 west of Tan My bridge in December 1968 when he had 3 days left in country. His wife had lost her brother in Vietnam the previous year. Cirilo passed away last year. Shortly thereafter his wife, Diane, was in a horrible car accident that resulted in 4 neck breaks, smashed pelvis, and numerous other injuries. I talked with her this week (while her daughter was driving her to the hospital). She is doing better and would like to attend the next reunion if she is capable.

***** Please be aware that several of our members have reported receiving an email requesting they buy $600 worth of Gift Cards.*****DON'T FALL FOR IT!**** It's a SCAM! We would never ask you to do such a stupid thing. The email appears to be sent by me but the email address isn't our 589th@589thEngineers.com official address.

I have removed all email addresses linked to our Board and Committee Members on those pages as well as anywhere else on the website.

Please let me know if you have also received an email from me with a similar request.

It's getting crazier out there every day!
