    44th Engineer Group Locator "Duty Roster"

    Beyond the historic value, though, is a strong desire to reunite with my fellow company members in reunions held annually or as often as possible both in the United States and in our "second home," or "home - away from home" Thailand !   Publishing a Locator Directory or Roster of member names, and with their individual permission as much as so desired, eg, email address, home address and a phone no. to just be able to "reach out" and talk to another friend, another veteran of S.E.A. !
