My wife and i went to the memorial celebration this weekend in chattanooga!All i can say is it was awesome!!These Marines were my son-in-laws men whom he commanded. The outpouring from the military and the community was fantastic.I think we are getting things right,finally by depending on oneanother and community.Some other citys need to sit up and take notice on how to get things done together.Proud of our young military men and women of today! Proud to be an AMERICAN!!D'ont think we can make the reunion this year but still support all my 589th brothers!!Welcome Home!

WOW! Did you look at the calendar today? If you did you had to notice that this time next month the 589th Reunion will be over! Seems like it was taking forever to get here and now it will be over before we know it! Looking forward to seeing all my Brothers and having a good time with you. If you have not registered yet now would be a good time! See you soon Brothers!

To every one involved in the Memorial Day ceremonies, and those who have been otherwise involved in locating the families of our "fallen." Fantastic! Please write your experiences up for inclusion in the 589th web page of short stories. If we get enough 589th short stories overall, we might produce a book of 589th short stories as a companion to the 589th history book we did last year. Great job Guys! :super:

John I agree with you. It is time we done something about these attacks on our country. We can do this by voting the idiots out in our government. See you in Branson.

Pray for Chattanooga and our military and our country'

Boat People—thought this might be interesting to you all! In reading this morning’s paper (Tulsa World) they had an article regarding the Freedom Flights. The article was about a local Korean Vet (he took a flight) and his twin brother who after graduation from High School in 1951 talked their Dad into letting them join the Army prior to their 18th Birthday. They were told by the Army they definitely would not go overseas. Well as all know how the Army works they turned 18 on a troop ship going to Korea. The interesting thing to you all is it was the General Pope! Just thought I would share that with you. Also want to say “Happy Father’s Day to all you Dads out there! Welcome Home and looking forward to seeing you in September!

I had a call from Col Don Ramsay's wife yesterday to let me know he has recently had a medical setback. Last year he fell and injured his head, followed by a long recovery. Evidently there have been some residual effects and he is again in a care facility but she hopes he can return home soon as he thinks that is the best medicine of all.
She said he is able to read the computer screen but can't send emails yet. He is also able to receive and read cards. I told her I would put out the word that he needs to receive some get well wishes.
If you have a little extra time shoot him an email or card. Email me if you don't have his mailing address and I'll get it to you.
He really loves the 589th Association and likes to hear all the stories.
Please take a minute to help cheer him up.
Welcome Home all my brothers.
