Happy monorail day weekend to all my 589tg brothers Peace be with you all

Hey Hank good to see you on here!I was a 3rd shop mechanic in Aco from may 70 thru may 71. Ive looked at you picts and recognized lot of the men we served with during this time.I agree with your comments about Hussein,worse pres ever, on the other hand my son is on Air Force 1 and he reminds me"dad im doing this for america"political choices aside. I'm interested to see what he has to say about the Nam 45yrs since i was there. I went to Bastogne Belgium few yrs back,took some picts,gave them to my dad and he said "it didnt look like this when i was there during the Bulge so i might be saying the same thing! Only 7 more months! Anyway,Welcome Home!I also saw Bill Snedeker was on here,dont know if you remember him or not.Him,Chester Hibbs and "Rock" Ribaric hung around together.Their picts are under Daniels listing. Have a Happy Memorial Day to all my Brothers who served and are serving!

I have my political opinions and opinions of politicians just as we all do.I would suggest that we focus our correspondence on the things that bring, and hold us together and try to avoid things that could come between us and separate us.With respect ,brotherhood, and Love.Welcome home

Well then, haven't things started to liven up a little.
Was just sitting down to write another episode of
"Spongebob Squarepants", and I noticed some dust rolling out of the tree line. .. sure enough , it's the same old crowd making mischief at our old stomping grounds. This is a Beautiful Country , cherished by those who have been privileged to fight for Her. How I feel will not be diminished by Political Jackwads
in our Capital or anywhere else...just remember to get your boots on the right foot and vote, it damn sure counts every time. Nodof! P.S. Welcome home!

Just want to give a shout out to Denis Cowand for finding a photo of Anthony Werner, another one of our Fallen Brothers we did not have a photo of.

Thanks from all of us Denis for taking the time and effort to do this. I think it is very important that we continue to try and put a face to all those we lost in Vietnam. You can see his photo on his dedicated webpage under Fallen Brothers/In Vietnam

I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT ANY ONE'S FEELING OR PISS ANY ONE OFF, I AM STRAIGHT FOWARD AND DON'T BEAT AROUND THE BUSH. I SAY WHAT I THINK. Sorry Nick

Now that's the way to encourage our members to express their views. If they don't agree with yours then let the discussions begin. Poor excuse for a commander in chief I'll agree.

In regards to determining what topics are appropriate for the guest book, what we are debating is freedom of expression. Legally, there must be special circumstance surrounding the denial of the freedom of expression; an example is denying the right to yell “fire” in a crowded movie theater. That’s understandable, however, I am not so sure anyone should be denied the right to express their feelings about our worthless president, or about our dysfunctional congress, or about the ineptness of the Veterans Administration. When a person expresses an opinion about our idiot president, I think most of what they are trying to do is educate those that refuse to recognize the obvious. Instead of discouraging those individuals from expressing themselves maybe we should be encouraging them. I would love to read anyone’s justification of Obama.

Brothers like said I did not intend to offend anyone by my post. I was stating what I thought we were all about and did not want to see it shut off as it was once before. If you remember that then you remember that your post were not instant like they are now. I do not agree with what Obama did either and I do not like the fact he went to Nam (Just wish he was there when I was)! Whatever the Guestbook is used for is fine with me as long as we all know the rules and procedures. I do not care how we do it as long as I can continue to share my thoughts with my Brothers and not offend anyone. You are correct Willie and I exercised my right to speak out also. Now who the heck is gonna be the next President? Sad choices to choose one! Love to all my 589th Brothers!

Hey Men,

I think maybe it's time for a discussion about what we should allow and should not allow on our Guestbook as far as our member's postings go. Maybe we should leave it like it is and restrict it to happy thoughts as has been the case or maybe we could argue that it's a place for freedom of speech too. It seems to me those that gave their lives for the right of all of us to do that are being silenced by those that did nothing.

Should we maybe let the guys slug it out?

You must admit it would make for a much more lively Guestbook for everyone.

A disclaimer at the top could simply state that "Views seen here do not necessarily represent the views of the 589th Association."

It's just a thought. Feel free to comment.

Nick, this is a free country. I have the right to say what I want to. Hank was right, what was the moron president Obama doing in Vietnam? As I remember we were there fighting for our country. So what in the HELL was he there for? Trying to make us look like idiots.

Nick, I'm sorry for saying anything about the worst President in the history of the United States. I will not post any more comments on the guest book ever again after this one.

Hank

Hello Brothers! I enjoy reading the Guestbook as does every one else! Please remember that the 589th Engr Bn Assn is supposed to be non-political and stay out of elections. I do not intend to speak out of turn but I hope we all use the Guestbook for what it is intended and not to vent, speak about or promote our political beliefs. I know we are all for our Country as we all served it. Lets use the Guestbook for what it was meant and not use for anything else! do not intend to offend but that is what the Guestbook is for from what I know about it. Thanks for understanding and Love to all my 589th Brother Members!
