Reunite with friends & comrades.

575th (HM) Supply Co.
"Bringing together friends from
Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam"
Home
WELCOME to the web site of the 575th (HM) Supply Company, 96th Supply & Services
Battalion, 1st Logistical Command, stationed at Ft. Lee, Virginia (Jul, 1966 - Sep, 1966) and at
Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam (Sep, 1966 - Sep, 1968).
The purpose of this site is to gather together in a group all members of the unit during it's
short life, publish photos from the days at Cam Ranh, and to provide information about and
photos from our bi-annual reunions, held in Joplin, Missouri.
Navigate through the site using the blue buttons at the top left of each page and you will
learn the limited history of the unit, the members located to date, members that we are still
searching for, reunion information, links to other pertinent sites, contact information, and
photos, photos, photos!
There is no cost to join the group and contact information gathered on the members will not
be used for any purpose other than to connect old friends and comrades of the company.




After the
reunion in 2005,
it was discovered that a member had
the original 575th guideon flag. He
evidently obtained the flag when the unit
was reorganized into Co. B Troop Command in 1968.
The flag has been mounted in archival materials. After
we all reach the age when we no longer have reunions,
the flag will be donated to the QM Museum at Ft. Lee,
Virginia, which in turn will send it to the Anniston
Army Depot Flag Repository
in Alabama.
Caps have been made for the group,
using the unofficial logo. The cost of caps
is $10.00 + $4.00 packaging and shipping for
one and $20.00 + $4.50 packaging and shipping
for two. They are available from Ron Demery.
See the "Contact Us" page for telephone
number, email address, and mailing address.

late 1966 or early 1967. Photo contributed by Art Snyder.
THEY'RE IN!!! The old Cam Ranh Bay VHS tape, which almost got destroyed at the last
reunion, has been converted into DVD format. The DVDs are available for $10.00 postpaid
from Ron Demery or if you let me know before the next reunion, you can pick it up at the
reunion. In calculating the price, we added the bare cost plus packaging and shipping, then
bumped it up a little to $10. The small profit will be donated (gratiously) to the 575th Reunion
Expense Fund by Art Snyder, who had the original 8 mm tapes. Thanks Art!

The Meritorious Unit Citation awarded to members of the 575th Supply Company who served
during the entire consecutive period from 29 September 1966 to June 1, 1967. The degree of
achievement is that which would merit the award of the Legion of Merit to an individual.
There's Top Eberhardt on the front of the line in a tug of war. I was told that the pit contained garbage. Second from left
is Bill Gregg and the last on the line is Field 1SG John Johnson. If you can name any of the other guys, please contact me
with the information.
