Message from Tom Oblinger
Curt,
Seeking: Any veteran who took MP School at Ft Gordon.  I trying to learn the cross-street location of my barracks back then (Company K - 10th Bn - 4th Tr Bde, January, 1966).   I'm writing a story about my days in Olive Drab from Nov-65 to Nov-67.
I was able to determine the locations of my barracks in Basic at Ft Knox, and my barracks at Ft Bragg later, but not at MP School at Ft Gordon.   Did any of you recall where your barracks was located at Ft Gordon? Does any one of you remember and cross streets at MP School?
Contact at Tomobling@aol.com.
Thanks,
Tom O.    Posted 6-24-2008

To all Fellow 709ers

Request to all 709ers. Please visit the web page of the Cathedral of The Pines, www.cathedralpines.com and read the short history of the Cathedral of The Pines.  I hope that after reading the history you will then log onto www.cathedralpinesstamp.org and sign a brief petition asking that a stamp commemorating the "Patriotic sacrifice of all Americans who have served their country attempting to bring peace and freedom to all the world"
I further request this information to all your friends so that they could sign the petition which will be forwarded to the Postal authorities.
Thank you, Mervyn C. Frink, Co A, Offenbach/Frankfurt 46/48
