Site Dedication
This web site is dedicated to the men who served in Vietnam with the 585th
Engineer Company [DT] from 1966 to 1972.Their sacrifices were many, their
rewards few.
In Memoriam
It is with humility and sorrow
and respect that we remember our comrades who were killed and wounded in the
line of duty. The 585th Association renders a solemn salute to Company
Commander Captain Gregory Patrick Kernahan, Distinguished Service Cross
[Posthumous], killed in action at Pleiku on 6 March 1968.
Association Mission
The three specific goals of this organization are to locate and reunite Vietnam Veterans of the 585th Engineer Company [DT] and to encourage camaraderie between these men.

Now is the time for all 585th
Association members to contact their U.S.Senators on this pending
legislation. Yesterday I contacted my 4 Senators;2 from Florida and two
from Georgia. The easiest procedure, for those with computer access, is
to use the Senate message system. Just go on your search engine and
enter the last name of your Senator,followed by .senate.gov Don't
forget those two dots between name.senate.gov If they have a common
name;example Bill Nelson in Florida uses billnelson.senate.gov .
chambliss.senate.gov is Saxby Chambliss's handle.
Here is a sample message for you to
consider. " Please do not recess before approving Subtitle G, Sec 575 to
the Defense Authorization Act; HR 2647,which authorizes the Secretary of
the Army to Retroactively Award the Army Combat Action Badge to eligible
Army war veterans back to 7 December 1941. This legislation will right a
wrong long ignored by the Department of the Army."
You may choose to accomplish this task
via a telephone call or personal letter. I've used all three options and
believe the email option to be the best. Remember to send your email to
both of your U.S. Senators, even if you believe one is doing most of
your legislation and assistance work. Both Senators work for you as a
team to cover your state.
