Hey Guys, we're getting ready to start organizing our 3rd annual, Honor Our Fallen program for Memorial Day weekend. I'm sure you know by now that the HOF program places flowers on the graves of all twenty-six of our 589th Brothers who paid the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam. Our commitment to honor those Brothers would not be possible without our unselfish 589th volunteers who give of their time and effort each year to participate in this memorial service. We are very proud that we had enough 589th volunteers in 2015 and 2016 to represent us in remembering all twenty-six of our Fallen Brothers, giving real meaning to the phrase: "Never Forgotten".
We are hopeful to have enough volunteers for this year as well. If you have never participated in this program, you can’t imagine how much the families of these men appreciate it when their loved one is remembered in person by one of his fellow comrades.

While we have met our goal of having at least one 589th volunteer represent us for the past two years, we would like to have even more of you contribute to this honor. Those of you that would like to volunteer to help place flowers can do that from the bottom of the Fallen Brothers page:

Those of you that are unable to attend one of the ceremonies, but would like to support the program, can make a donation from the bottom of the Donations/”Honor Our Fallen” page.

Any amount is appreciated and gets your name added as a contributor on the page. Your contribution amount is not revealed.

Thanks in advance for your commitment!

I was a Heavy Equip Operator with the 46th Engr Detachment(Utility) at Qui Nhon / Phu Tai Valley Apr thru Nov 1967. I have never been able to find ANYTHING on my Detachment and am hoping some of the 589th may have heard of them as I was an operator on a Scrapper belonging to them that was called " Dear John " with a unit number of, it looks like 072
Hope some of your people may know of them

Frank
