Deuce News

by Dave Kennedy Dave

Pray for Our Brothers,

Mike Opsteen &

Herman Lawrence

Mike Opsteen

We have received word via Ed Morris that Mike Opsteen, a "boat person" is in the Veterans Home in King, Wisconsin suffering from a brain tumor. It would be great if we sent him cards and letters to cheer him up. His address is:

Mike Opsteen
Wisconsin Veterans Home, RM 214
422 Bell Ave
King WI 54946

Opsteen Mike attended the first reunion in Branson. Pictured left is Mike in his youth with the Deuce. Pray for Mike's recovery. Although it doesn't look good now, many have fooled the doctors and live far beyond their predictions.

For more information suggest emailing Ed Morris.

Herman Lawrence

We have received word that doctors have found a spot on one of Herman's lung and that he also has infections of his kidneys and blatter. He is scheduled for more tests on May 27th. Pray for his well being and quick recovery.

Unit History

FtCuster

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 . . .

Washington D.C. Being Considered for
2010 Reunion:

At the New Orleans reunion interest was shown in holding the 2010 reunion in Washington D.C.. VietnamWall There are those that have not had the opportunity to visit the Vietnam Memorial Wall and other points of interest in our nation's capital. Details will be worked out at the Branson Reunion. One of the boat people, LT Ed Morris, lives in the D.C. area and I'm sure would do what he could to help in the planning efforts. I'm sure there must be others as well.
