Richard (Dick) Ellis, Come to the reunion nezt and meet a lots of Brothers that were in D Co.In fact there is going to some of us that help form the unit at Fort Hood, Tx.

Hello everyone, I came up with a couple of names while on the 84th's guestbook that might be interesting. One Brother claims to have been the Company Commander of the 513th DT from 67-68 and stated that his unit was attached to the 589th, his name is Patrick Meyers and last E-Mail address is pwmeyers@bell south.net and his home address is or was 3584 SW Zullo Street, Port St Lucie, Florida. Another Brother with the same Dump Truck Unit was there in 68, he states that the whole Unit was Reassigned to the 589th, his name is Max K Stephens and his last known E-Mail address is maxand carolann@yahoo.com and his home address is P.O. Box 1442, Tonaasket, Wa 98855. There seems to be a lot of swapping of Units between the 84th and 589th. That's it for now, Take Care Brothers and God Bless You All.

It's been a long time sence the Nam. I miss ya all a great deal. Today my memory is about shot but I do remember some. I was with D Co. from 4/68 to 4/69. Would love to hook up with some of the guys though. Welcome home Brother. It's nice to know D Co. lives on. Dick!!

Willie, I to am proud to have served my Country, you beat me by 5 years as I served a total of 19 years, 15 years with the RI Army National Guard and 4 years regular Army. The Military made me the man I am, then and now and I'll be forever grateful for that.

Jim, I gave 24 years of my life for my country and am proud of every minute of it. I would do it all over again. Enjoyed every day of it.

Willie, Thank you for the information you provided, I went on the 84th's website and there was some Company swapping going on, I read it in their Quarterly Reports. It's pretty amazing that as time goes by, you learn more about your time in the past. Also, you should be proud of being with the 589th and proud of serving your Country at such a difficult time, Vietnam was not such an easy time in our lives. Thank you for your service and Welcome Home Brother.

If I remember correct. When we first got to Nam B Co of the 84th was already at An Khe. When D Co moved to An Khe In 67, our B Co became B Co of the 84th and there B Co became B Co of the 589th. It was a long time ago, but I do remember the 589th swapping Cos. So maybe we changed C Cos too. But I am proud to say I was a member of the 589th.

Nick, Thank you for your kindness, my intent was not to offend anyone in any way, if I did, I'm sorry. Perry has already contacted me on the Orders I have. I made him a copy, It's in the mail to him. Perry sent me a copy of C Company's Morning Report from the time I was there and everyone that's on my Orders are in that Report plus the rest of the Men that were in C Company from that time. Is it possible that there were two C Company's at the same time because I don't recall seeing the names of my time with the Members of the Association that served with C Company during the same time period, unless I missed the names on the Morning Report? If there was a Present C Company, how do you move a Whole Company of the 84th and Change to C Company? Regardless, I was proud to have served with the 589th and Welcome Home to You and the Men and Women that Served Our Country and God Bless the Men and Women that are Serving Today. This time, I spelled Bless right.

Jim, Welcome Home Brother! I was in C Company from Dec 67-Dec 68. Any of us that served in the 589th or units attached to it are our Brothers and we are glad to hear from you. We are trying to put together the history of the 589th and anything you have that could help us do so would be appreciated if we can get a copy of it. Please don't feel that since you came at a different time or for different reasons that you are not welcome as I can say "WE" all welcome you home and are glad to have you added to our association.

To All, my name is Jim Casto, I started my tour in Vietnam in June of 1970. I was assigned to the 687Th Landclearing Company, Engineers, 18th Engr Bde. After 6 months with the 687th, the Unit was Deactivated and I transfered to the 84Th Engineer Bn, D Company, located in An-Khe. Not long after I arrived, the Unit was packed up and moving somewhere else. We convoyed from An-Khe to a place called Con-Soom, I don't know if this is the real name of this place or not, I don't even know if I spelled it right. or even pronounce it right. This move was so far away that on February 1st of 1971, all of D Company of the 84th Engr Bn became C Company of the 589th Engr Bn. Our new base was just above the Na- Trang Pass between Ban- Me- Thout and Na- Trang. I have in front of me, a set of Special Orders from the 18th Engr Brigade assigning 69 of us to C Company, 589th Engr Bn of which after reviewing the Members Page, I am the only one from these orders on the Members Page. This is only a partial list of Men as there were probably more Orders for other Men that are not on this set. These Orders may have been made up by Rank, all ,other than one PV2, everyone else is a SP4 and there are no Leaders on these Orders. This is a long post, however I felt compelled to post it simply because of all the posts about people not coming to the Reunions. The 687th has a website simular to yours and when these sites were created, it was more geared towards the Men of that time frame and not the Men that came after you Men left Vietnam, you can see it all the pictures and by who attends these Reunions and it's a really great thing for all of you as it should be. I don't attend the Reunions because I choose not to, however, I know that you Guys and your Families have a great time just by reading all the Posts and I read them on a daily basis. This Post is much to big so I will stop now and as always, God Blees You All and Your Families.

Nick, I agree. We try to make evryone feel welcome, and want everone to be welcome. I know we all get cought up in our little groups. But lets face it, it beenover 40 years since some of us have seen each other. So if we hurt anyone feeling last year, I am sorry. We just like to be to be gether and talk about times So don't be aftraid. Get in on the fun. HELL! have a few beers and have a good time.That what it all about.

The 589th Association started with small groups of us who knew each other coming together. Thus, most companies tend to have members that are predominantly from one or two small groups and year groups. While that is good, it unfortunately means that some individuals who were not part of those groups or year groups might feel left out. Don't feel that way. In the past the Earthmoving Platoon of C Company was the largest group of C Company - but over the past few months we have located members of other platoons. Regardless, anyone within the 589th is welcome to join C Company at any time. Select a drink of your choice; partake of the food that our wives have provided; you don't have to say or do anything unless you want to; just join us and listen to our lies (I mean historical truths). We especially invite lost members of A Company since we have a special A Company Re-education program. Whatever you do, do not feel left out.

Nick, I will be there with bells on. Can't wait to see all of my Mountian Movers Buddies.I just hope a lot of people show up.
