Comments: Fellow Alumni:               10/20/2009

I will be sending a News Letter in Jan. or Feb., about the 2010 Reunion.
The tentative dates will be between June 2 and 19, 2010.
Put these dates aside.
Ft. Lewis, WA/ Seattle-Tacoma area.
I see all these flags in people's yards.
They say we support our troops, but do they really support the physically.
The way I see it is if you want to show support, go visit with the troop.
Tell them in person that you support them.
The easiest way to show your support is the make plans to attend our
2010 Reunion at Ft. Lewis, WA.
You will not only get the chance to meet with the troops and officers,
but to talk with them and break bread with them.
We will meet with each company and have the chance to tell them your experiences and hear theirs.
Last year many of the Alumni brought pictures and tools that they used during their service.
All the details will be mailed to you in Jan.or Feb. 2010.

And remember if you can reads this, thank a teacher.
If you are reading it in English, thank a soldier.
Semper Constans,
Tommy Thompson

Comments: Looking for info about this unit, specifically, whereabouts and any action seen between 27-Oct-50 and 25-Sep-51. My father served during this period, however, until having a stroke in 1987, he had never spoken about it. Blocked it out of memory. The stroke seemed to reactivate memories. We are trying to find out how much of what he has remembered is accurate. Any information about this unit would be appreciated.
