Re: Re: Camp Essayons

According to my neighbor, who worked in the warehouse of A Company, in 1967, for 2Lt William A. Venable,III, it was Camp Pordaeng, "Friendship Highway Project" Route 304, Phakthong Chai. Does anyone know this time period and how to get in touch with Venable?
Also the post has been working to move the monument dedicated 11 December 1968 from under the 5 year old overpass to a new location in plain view for all to see as they head out of Korat to Phakthong Chai. Email SPAM Filters are making it real tough to let people know that we would like some pics of the ceremony or the earliest pics possible of the monument. There is one on the 697th Pipeline site that is nothing like the one moved. So help if you can.
The last thing is I'm working hard to hit the number's needed by November, for some free Life Memberships to be lotto'd off to our annual paying members. If you know war vets that are not VFW members, and would like to join our post, please send them our way. I've got some big dreams that if they are fulfilled will serve the veteran community for years to come.
Sincerely,
Chappie Chapman, Adjutant
VFW Post 10217, Korat, Thailand
