I like for everyone associated with our organization to sign our guestbook,
but lately some of the scum of the earth have been trying to use our
guestbook to sell drugs and things. To solve this problem when you sign
the Guest Book it will ask you to enter ABCDE and to enter a code. The code
only shows up if you have cookies enabled. And your entry doesn't show up
right away. I have to approve each of the entries before they appear. If
your one of us I'll approve. Thank you, please read on.
Just to make sure that everyone can get to all the links on this page
I'm going to put a copy of all the links on this page right here in this
paragraph.
MISSION, UNITS, CIVIC ACTIONS, TRADITIONS,
HISTORY REPORTS, MEMORIAL, REUNION, IMAGES, LINKS,
and the newest link T-SHIRTS AND FUND RAISERS ITEMS.
Please read on and send me your information.
Please view this information at your leisure, and sign the guest book,
especially if you were a 145th Combat Aviation Battalion member. If
you were assigned to the 145th CAB units, and haven't made contact with
our Association as of yet, please do so by contacting , the association
president. Come to our reunions, reconnect with old friends and make new
ones.

I need a mailing address (snail mail) for you so I can send you a newsletter.
Could you send it with your full name, street address, city, state,
zip+4, phone number, unit served, dates served yrs-months, and rank

Here is a little info on our organization. We have over 4,000 current
address, many from you former unit.
The 145th Combat Aviation Battalion (VIETNAM) Association is a Fraternal
Veterans Organization filed under IRS Code section 501(c)19. We are
established for the purpose of holding reunion, writing unit and battalion
history, and to re-establish the camaraderie of the Battalion, units and
detachment associated with the 145th CAB, (45th Trans Bn in the early
days). We are trying to locate everyone who served with the 145th Combat
Aviation Battalion and the 45 Transportation Battalion in Vietnam, the
units listed below:
Aviation Companies
HHC, 1st, 18th, 25th, 68th, 71st, 73rd, 74th, 114th, 117th,
118th, 119th, 120th, 121st, 135th, 147th, 184th, 190th, UTT-68th-197th-334th,
213th, 242nd, 335th, CoA/82nd, CoA/501st, 57th Med Det
Transportation Companies
8th, 33rd, 57th, 81st, 93rd, 339th
And all Detachments of these units.
Many of these units served with the 145th Battalion for just a short time
in Vietnam. To truly re-establish the camaraderie of the units we welcome,
and hope for, everyone assigned to these units to join with us. To us
a unit is a unit no matter what other Battalion it may have been assigned
to before or after serving with the 145th.
After I send you a sample newsletter you may wish to join our Association
for just $15 a year or $200 life membership. Regardless, please send
me an e-mail so I can send you a newsletter and also have you on file
so your friends can contact you. Jim Bodkin jbodkin145@aol.com
