Happened to be reading the 589th Facebook page and came across Tom Leasure's post about the passing of Ron ( Chief ) Mulanax on Jan 11, 2025. So sorry to hear of another Brother's passing. May he rest in peace.

I will add Ron to our Fallen Brother Since Vietnam page along with a link to his obituary page.

Honor Our Fallen 2025. Memorial Day this year will be Monday, May 26. We will once again be placing flowers on the graves of our 589th Engineer Battalion brothers who died in Vietnam like we do every Memorial Day. I will be contacting those of you who have helped in the past to confirm that you will be going again this year to honor a brother. For anyone who has not had this privilege and wishes to help this year please send me a note or give me a call. We will be visiting twenty-six graves in nineteen states and sending cards to sixty-five next-of-kin whom we remember also. We are unique in this special honor among all veteran organizations to my knowledge and we should be proud of our dedication to those who died in Vietnam those many years ago.

Perry seems like then I find and locate a member of our unit that they have died. Steven E. Toth 1967 roster B. C0mpany 589th Engr. Bn. Steven's wife got back to me after three attempts on Face Book to let me know that Steven died six years ago (2018)? of cancer,
agent orange. There was no obituary, and he donated his remains to the University of Oklahoma. I asked his age, but she didn't respond. So sad, brothers please be ready to leave, our time is getting shorter each day! Hope to see y'all at the reunion in September.

Welcome Home Roger! Nice comment about many of us and may "We Never Forget"! I will be there in September and I too hope to see many of our Brothers there!

On this date April 10, 1968, I returned to the US after having spent almost a year on an extended senior trip with most of the 589th Engineers that arrived by the USS John Pope. We were lucky, no blessed to have made it back to our loved ones and marry and start families and live our lives. May the 26 soldiers of the 589th that loss their lives in that conflict never be forgotten. For those that still survive, thanks for your service and best of health. Hope to see you at Ft Leonard Wood in Sept. 2025 for our last Battalion reunion.

Perry, did you get the obit on Charles Pacheco? He was in B Co. and went over with us in 1967?

Perry, what happened to the first list of fallen brothers that did show? Happy New Year! Hope to see you in September.

Glad you are planning on coming to the Reunion! Hope to meet you and say Welcome Home Brother!

Have never attended a reunion, didn/t even know we existed until a few years ago. Plan on attending ft. Leonard wood in September. Did my advanced training there back in 1968. Was at LZ Last Chance, Co B, Asphault platoon from 6/70 to 4/71. Was in Germany, 1968 and 1969!
