Harry Beam is going to make nametags for those planning to attend the 2010
Reunion. However.....here is what we need to do. Harry needs a photo of
the member taken in Vietnam. Include what unit you were with, and the years.
All of this will cost you $5, but the finished product will be something you will
be proud to wear. Please send the $5 to Harry Beam.
Spouses can participate in this too; just send in a photo taken in the 60s - 70s.
We need to get a head start on this so if you even think you are going to be
in Columbus for the 2010 reunion, get that photo and information to Harry now!!
