1011th Vietnam DVD's available at reunion

There will be a DVD movie of the 1011th's tour in Vietnam given to each unit member in attendance at the reunion this year.

Gwen and Gene Eidman have consolidated all of their 8 mm movies of Vietnam into one DVD that will be given out at the August reunion. This DVD shows, among other things, the unit loading out our equipment at Fort Benning, unloading it in Saigon, along with various company parties, life in the hooch, and also an overview of the culture and the people of Vietnam.

There will be a DVD slide show put together by Dan Kirk, that will also be given out at the August reunion. This DVD has many different pictures of our company area and Vietnam country side.


Both of these DVD's will be given to the unit members that are in attendance at the reunion. If extra copies are requested or if you are unable to attend the reunion, copies will be available for a small charge for the DVD and mailing costs.

Information for ordering these DVD's can be obtained from the reunion organizers, Larry Gales or Ron Worcester.

Thanks Eidman's and Kirk's for your time in putting these together.
