Great job on the new site.
Thanks for all your hard work.

The iPad (tablets) should be corrected. Please let me know if you have any problems with viewing any aspects of our site on any tablet.

As far as your smart phones such as iPhone and others go, I will be working on that next. Keep checking back to test your devices...we'll get it!

Thanks for your patience.

I really love the new website. Good work Perry! There is one thing however. Isn't there always. It works perfect on my pc but not so much so on my ipad. Does anyone else have a problem viewing the new site on an Apple device? Even if it stays as is I am very happy and will just use my pc to access it. Again good work Perry!

The new website is very nice and after viewing William Jarvinen's photo of C Co being in Phan Rang still confuses me as I was in C Co between Nha Trang and Bam Me Thouet at the same time frame he has posted, I've said it before, there may have been two C Company's at the same time, Very mind boggling! Welcome Home To All!

hi every one great site Perry. I remember c co. em platoon in Texas , I think his name was Voss ,I think, he made wine in the old hospital barracks sealing ,as I remember he got in some trouble and didn't get to Nam with us , and also if I remember right he would have made a hell of a avatar. lol.Welcome home brothers . thanks to Sargent hill I didn't get to stay with 589th very long , I was sent to the 137th Eng. co, att to the 19th combat eng. batt. Kelly Adovnick was also was sent there . great site

I want to thank the 589th for letting me becaome a member of your group. Not being in the the 589th I was in the 553rd (float bridge) that was attached at one time. I'm always looking for members of not only the 553rd (from 2nd tour) but also for others from the 511th (panel Bridge) from my 1st tour. The 511th was based in An Khe and the 553rd was based in Tuy Hoa but had platoons all over the place. Once again thank you and WELCOME HOME.

I didn’t mean to start anything inappropriate with my “avatar” question, but I remain curious. I have heard of the phrase avatars used in science fiction movies, which I never watch, but not in reference to anything you would upload to a website. I do not remember the term used in Vietnam, although it does sound like something C Company’s EM platoon could have exposed the rest of us to. We heard rumors as to the amount of cream they requisitioned, but I never tied their excessive use of creams and ointments together with avatars (C Company’s desire for cream and ointment is also a subject that deserves further explanation). Anyway, Mr. Hickox’s question and Perry’s response left me believing there is something to these avatars I don’t understand. Or, could I have been sucked into one of your “southern, good old boy” jokes?

Hey guys, thank you all vey much for the compliments on the new 589th website.

I have received feedback from over 25 members on it and they have been overwhelmingly positive. We still have a few bugs (avatars) to work out but all in all I think it's ready to launch to all our members and the world as early as tomorrow.

It was 3 months in the making and I want to thank all of you for your input and encouragement along the way. I could not have done it without you.

I hope everybody enjoys it and "Welcome Home!"

I can see now we need to resolve this "avatar" problem before it goes viral. But, hey that's another story for another time. I understand that's one reason folks live "Up in the Tundra", avatars die off every winter.

Now bob are you saying that you never had to go on sick call for an infestation of avatars while in nam? There was a cream they gave us that took care of the nasty little buggers.

I am so glad to see the positive comments on the website Perry has built for us. I believe it must be one of the best in the country for a bunch of Nam Vets like us. I spoke to Ralph Downing and he said he was amazed at the work Perry did and wants me to be sure to thank him! So, Perry on behalf of those that have not seen this website yet "Thank you for doing so well for us again". I am sure once it alive to all the comments will continue in a positive manner! From the time you started with an idea to get together with a few guys to where we are today, all of us can never thank you enough. Many of us look forward to each day with a better outlook on life for what you have given us by meeting old friends again and the opportunity to let us heal some more. To hear "Welcome Home" means so much more since I became a member I am sure they are many more that feel that way also! It is with great honor that I was elected to carry on in your footsteps although I cannot fill your shoes. Having you has the COB (Chairman of the Board) is one of the best votes the Association ever took. Again thank you from us all! Welcome Home Brother!

Bob Hickox asked if there is a way to upload your avatar. I don’t know what an avatar is, so I am not sure I would ever want to upload one. How would the average 589th member know if they have one of those avatars? I am assuming that if you have an avatar but are not able to upload it, you can always go to the doctor and get a shot.
