A brief history: In
early 2003 a couple of guys from our unit happened to run into each other and
started talking. By November they had
grown to about thirty former members in touch with each other. I had just returned from a rather disturbing
reunion of the 196th (August 2003) and left a post on their web
site. I was contacted by one of the guys
from Echo 1/46th and in November 03 we had twenty-two of us gather
at a hotel in Nashville. We decided that we would keep looking and
hold another reunion in a couple of years.
I have spent untold hours scouring various locator sites tracking down
name and calling phone numbers and in September 05 we held our second reunion
in Branson Missouri. At that time we had located one hundred and
four former members of our unit, and had fifty-six attend the reunion. These members range from the CO that took our
unit to Vietnam to a couple of guys
that came home with the colors. As of
today we have located one hundred and nineteen former members of Echo 1/46th.
