Mike Opsteen Dies
Our friend and comrade Mike Opsteen died at the Veterans Home in King, Wisconsin the end of January. Mike was one of the "boat people" who trained with us Mike was a good trooper and a fine soldier who did himself proud. He will be missed by his friends and family to include the "deuce" family. Rest in Peace Mike. Your job is done.

The 552nd Military Police Company began its history in 1943 at Fort Custer, Michigan as the 552nd Military Police Escort Guard Company. It retained that designated during World War II and the Korean War. When it was activated during the Berlin Crisis in 1961 it was re-designated the 552nd Military Police Company which it currently retains. This Military Police Company returned from France to Fort Benning, Georgia. From Fort Benning it deployed to Vietnam serving there from 1966-1972.
Presently the unit assigned to the 728th Military Police Battalion, 8th Military Police Brigade is based in Hawaii and is now deployed to Iraq. Our thoughts and prayers are with those serving and for their families that wait at home for their safe return. More History . . .
"This was a great reunion" was the general consensus of those attending this year's reunion held in Branson,Missouri. Monday was the kickoff date with most arriving to a reception buffet and lots of hugs and greetings.
We had almost 30 veterans with wives that were not able to attend last year in New Orleans. The total group size was almost 80 which makes it one of the best attended reunions yet.

The show SIX featured six brothers (shown above) from a family with 10 boys. They sang acapela but with the assistance of enhanced audio capabilites they you really didn't realize they didn't have a band. Of the three shows that we saw as a group this one was probably the most popular. One of the shows which featured music of the sixties for which our group was probably 75 percent of the audience did a special tribute to the "Deuce" I will see if I can get it on the Internet for all to view.
