Hey C Company guys! If you remember Gary Cowie there is good news. He is coming to Branson and his sons Jeff and Steve are coming with him! This will be Gary's first reunion and he will fit right in with us EM Platoon guys! Glad he is making it as it will be good to see him and his sons!

Hi Perry, Just recently found this site. Did not know there were any reunions. Will definitely try to get to the one in Sept. I was the dispatcher in Co A from 6-67 to 6-68.In reading some other Emails I noticed the name Pickett that worked next to my office in the parts dept. Also that someone named Nichols took over for him. Would that have been Don Nichols from Idaho?

I received the following email from John Miller and actually checked it out myself and was impressed with the level of interest and commitment by the person on the other end. Give it a try!

Hi Perry:

I do not know if you are aware of the following.

There is a White House VA Hotline that any veteran can contact if they have a comment
or problem concerning the VA.

(855) 948-2311 8:00 - 5:00 daily.

I called and received a response right away and a Veteran answered. He advised that my
complaint would be entered on the official record.

Perhaps this would be beneficial information for our members.

Best personal regards,
John

Don't see very many names on the list from DELTA CO. what is the problem. I know there is more people in our company 5 of us. Come on, Let see some names on the list.

"And then there was one."

Thanks to Denis Cowand and Jim Clower we have put a face on another of our Fallen Brothers leaving only one now that we have not been unable to find a photo of.

Denis was able to contact Harold Johnson who is a nephew of Jessie James Tyler and arrange for him to bring a photo to Jim Clower at this year's HOF Memorial Day ceremony in Neeses, SC. I have updated Jessie's Page with his photo. I am very pleased that we now have a face to go with his name!

The only remaining Fallen Brother we do not have a photo of is SGT Raymond Henry Gray who is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Denis is working with our HOF volunteers for SGT Gray along with other means to try and find a photo of him. If any of you have a picture please send it by email to dpoole45@gmail.com or 589th@589thEngineers.com.

I checked find a grave web cite and came up with this info,maybe

i WAS THERE IN 1969 A COMPANY

For all my A co. brothers, got a call yesterday telling me that Jerry Best had passed away over the weekend. He is at Greenview funeral home in Florence, al.

Those of you wanting to read a good book about a chopper pilot\'s experience in Vietnam should read Mark Garrison\'s book, Guts and Gunships. We ground soldiers were lucky to have guys like him in the air.

John, it was a very good day & a pretty good breakfast. I am still stunned running into you. I was taken aback when I looked up & saw the 589th hat. You just don't see to many of those, but then again there are just a few of the "chosen few "
I will give you a call & we can get together.
