You said it perfectly Perry! My thoughts and prayers go out to Don's family and friends. I did not know Don except for the many Reunions he attended and I came to know and respect Don. I clearly remember the first Reunion I attended at Ft Leonard Wood and Don spoke to us about the VA. He is the one that informed me that I was eligible for VA benefits. He was a great member of the 589th and he will be missed by all! Rest in Peace Brother!

Every time I hear of another death of one of our 589th Brothers it hurts. For those I knew especially well, either from knowing them in Vietnam or from all of our reunions since, it hurts even more.

Don Baux is one of those Brothers that I knew very well in Vietnam and even more so since the 2010 Fort Leonard Wood reunion.

Don passed away on Aug 22nd and will be cremated. His visitation will be on Sunday from 4-7 at David Henney Funeral home 6364 Library Rd, Library, PA 15129. The burial service will be at 10 am Monday at the national cemetery of the Allegheny’s. More info on the obituary and arrangements will be posted on the Latest News page.

You will be missed by so many Don. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace Brother.

Mu thoughts and prayers are with Anna and the family. I met Mike and Anna at our Reunions and both of them became friends I looked forward to seeing each year. Mike will be missed by everyone he knew! Rest in Peace Brother and God Bless your family!

Hello Brothers!
I received a call from David (Goody) Goodrow and his wife Chrissy today. They called to let me know that David is in need of our prayers as his lungs "are shot"; his words.
He was really looking forward to trying to attend the Reunion this year but will not be able to.
Please do not forget to add Goody and his family to your prayers. He might appreciate it if his fellow Boat People give him a call. that is a suggestion from me as he did not ask that. Love you Brothers!

I received a nice letter from Ruth Sapp, wife of Fletcher Sapp HHC, who passed away recently. She asked me to pass on the family's thanks for the thoughts and prayers of the 589th engineer Battalion. She said Fletcher was proud to have been a part of our organization.

Thank Bob. I am looking forward to being there, I hope more sign up

Thank you for excellent answer Bob! I think you said exactly what needs to be said and in a manner that was easy to understand. You are always clear in your statements. Thanks again and I plan on seeing you there even if I wear a mask!

Love to all Brothers!
