The 585th Engineer Company (Vietnam) Association has donated a one time amount of $2500.00 to the new, yet to be built, United States Army Museum at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. In a brief note to Brigadier General Creighton Abrams Jr.; Executive Director, Army Historical Foundation, it was noted the 585th Engineer Company had deployed to Vietnam from Fort Belvoir in 1966. In closing, General Abrams was advised the 585th was planning a reunion in the Fort Belvoir area during the October 2009 timeframe. "At that reunion, the 585th Vietnam Vets will surely visit the new Army Museum as a group." |
