Subject: Brothers of the 84th Engineer Association

ents: Brothers of the 84th Engineer Association Viet Nam

Paul Farley, Paul Bylin, Richard McCorrison, Klim Nessmith, Aaron Brown, Dan Toomey and Darcy Zahn have carried this association. The successful continuation of the Association depends on involvement from its members. Elections will be coming in August and I urge each and every member to consider running for office and taking an active part in the Association. Most of the work has been done and only the daily business needs to be addressed. The Association belongs to all of the men of the 84th who served in Viet Nam. It is this lack of participation that disturbs me the most. I would hate to see the Association fall to the way side as so many Viet Nam Associations have in the past. Your interest and participation is vital for the growth of the Association. I realize we are all busy in our private lives. I have a son in the Navy and a daughter in medical school. My time is limited, but I believe in what our Association stands for. It is also a chance to create any change in the Association, if a new Board of Directors disagrees with the current Board of Directors. This is my personal opinion and does not reflect in any way the feelings or leadership of the current members of the Board of Directors. I am asking for each member to consider becoming involved in the Association and take an active part in its leadership. On a personnal note I have found it very rewrding when I am able to help a Viet Nam Vet find information in regarding his Army unit he served with in Viet Nam. Even if his unit is not the 84th. We are all brothers and all share a bond that will bind us together for a life time. We are not the Great Generation of our fathers but we are our Fathers Son's. We must carry on the bond of service. Please give serious thought to this request for service to your Associaton. It has been my honor to serve as the Historian for the Association. Any association grows with the input of new leadership and new ideas and new direction. I would welcome any comment regarding this posting and can be reached at jposs@dc.rr.com I ask each of you to remember the joy you had when you found the Association site and to renew that joy and become a part of the association leadership.
Thank You
JD Poss
Historian 84th Viet Nam Association
