Diana,
So sorry to hear about Joe passing away. All of mine and Patsy prayers go out to you and your family. May God bless you all.

We are so very sorry about our brother.our prayers go out to the family

for my fellow brothers of 589th
Joe LaGasse looked very good in his dress blues that I helped him pick out at the base in Waynesville, Mo. He had a military funeral and was put to rest at the Veterns cemetery in Agusta, Me.

Diane and Family
The 589th family have heavy hearths for your loss of Joe. Even on your darkest days there is an Angel by your side to guide you along the way

Hello Diane,
I am so sorry for your loss. Joe was a fellow 589th A Co Brother. All of us will miss him. We enjoyed very much reconnecting with him at our Reunion in Waynesville, MO after 40+ years.

Please accept our condolences. You and your families are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. If there is anything we can do, let us know.

It is with heavy heart that I must tell you my Father, SGT Joseph Lagasse, passed away this past Sunday following a courageous battle with cancer. My Father was proud to have had the military career that he did. And, it was his honor to have served with the 589th Battalion A Company in Vietnam (1967 to 1968.)

Billy Stemen And Ivory McAlpin, All of the 589th brothers have you in our prayers. With Gods help, and the prayers from all of us, you can beat this thing. God Bless Both of You.

Ivory,

So sorry to hear you are having health issues Brother. I hope you are getting some good care from the VA. I know they are capable of doing so much more today than ever before so hang in there and know we are all thinking of you and praying for a speedy recovery.

In VA Hospital, Houston, Texas
Fighting lung issues at this time.

Here is an update on our Adopt a Grave initiative that we started this year. The intent of this program is to lay a wreath on the gravesite of each of our 26 Brothers that were killed in Vietnam.

So far we have at least one Honor Guard volunteer for 25 of our 26 Vietnam losses. A total of 42, 589th Association members have volunteered for this honor. The only Brother not represented is Ronald Moe who is buried in Anaconda, Montana. If you or someone you know in the 589th would like to volunteer to lay a wreath on Ronald's gravesite please let us know.

We are also still looking for few more volunteers for those Brothers that only have one Honor Guard. Go to the Adopt a Grave webpage for details.

For you guys that have already volunteered, "Thank You" from all of your 589th Brothers. You are giving true meaning to the words "Never Forgotten"

Just spoke to Billy Stemen from C Co. He is not doing very well in his fight with prostate cancer.

If you can give him a call sometime to cheer him up, please do.

Thanks

We are planning on being there. Thinking about coming a day early. May even bring our daughter. Will see everyone in Sep
