Hello, I served with the 3-506th, 101st Abn. (Oct. 67- Oct. 68) and we had a number of battles at Song Mao. I am writing my sixth book about my battalion and would like to know if any of you fine 589th members have any aerial photos of Song Mao, especially of the airstrip and French buildings. Would you know any WW II/French background info. about the airstrip, etc.? If so, would you please contact me? Thank you kindly and welcome home. Jerry in Montana.

My dad was there in 67 -68 Joe Davila he passed away in 1998 he is at Fort Sam Houston. I would love to know more or see pictures he didn't share much with us.

Please let me know as soon as possible if you hear of another of our 589th Brothers passing away. I am still trying to get sympathy cards to the Families as soon as I can.Thanks for your help and Welcome Home

I have not been computing much lately. Just trying to stay out of the line of fire these days. I was sorry to hear about Jim Johnsons passing. He was a good friend. He could sure play a guitar. Good mechanic too. He would come to our hooch too and play and sing for us. You guys be safe. We'll get through this.

Hello All, Hope everyone is well and avoiding this virus overflow. We're staying pretty close and just trying to keep all body parts out of the line of fire. Sound familiar?
Need some help with a request from a guy who wants to write a Virtual Wall tribute for David J. Enmon who was our first casualty.
If any of you have first hand knowledge or can point me to someone who does, please send me an email or phone call and I'll get them in touch with this guy.
I worked with him a couple years ago when he wrote a tribute for another of our guys.
Welcome Home My Brothers, Stay safe.

Hello Brothers! Hope you all are well and following the guidelines for trying to stay virus free. It is surely a trying time for us all, especially not being to see family and friends.

Here in Oklahoma and the small town I live in it is growing slowly but it is scary when all the new cases we see are growing so quickly!

Hope to see you all next year! I found reviewing the pictures of our Brothers from Nam helps pass some time and not think about the virus.

Good health to all stay safe!

Love you all Brothers!

As I remember, I was OJT most of my tour and operated 10ton roller from the unit located in An Khe.
Email me to converse.

Bob I remember Johnson very well.He was in HQ Co..When we were at Phan Rang our hooches were close together. When I was not at another company he and I played poker and hung out at the Air Force NCO club.
He was pretty good playing a 12 string guitar to.
Hate to here about his passing
He was a good friend.

I was in Soddy Daisy Tenn. last week and I stopped at the viet vet center there and spoke to a lady about if she knew any of the 3 men I was asking about and she said that one of the men had died before the holidays by the name of James Johnson. don't know if anyone out there remembers him or not so I thought i'd pass this along. I don't know anymore than that other than him being with the 589th.

Prayers and thoughts to Diane and the family! He was a good man and a good friend. He will be missed by all of us! RIP Bandit!

P.S. I don't know how that stupid "imoji" or whatever you call it ended up in may last email.
