Happy New Year to all! I have loaded this new "site updates" page for 2022 and archived the 20210 updates to the "Site Map" page. If you are a newcomer to our Association website, you can browse the "Site Updates" from previous years to have an encapsulated view of happenings over the years. Aside from these updates, I highly recommend our Photo Album pages, Reunion pages, our War Stories pages and our "In Memorium" pages, which contain informative memorial pages for all the men killed in action while assigned or otherwise associated with the 50th Infantry Regiment in Vietnam. If you are not a member of our Association, we would encourage your serious consideration.  Although preferred, membership is not required for attendance at our reunions...as each reunion funds itself.
