Note; Our hats off to Sgt. Dixon for making soldier of the year and to Sgt. Portes for
making NCO of the year, These two fine soldiers and the rest of Bravo Company show
the very reason the 46th Engineers continues to out last any other Engineering unit in
the Military. The 46th marks 90 years of continuous service to our great country.
God bless our brave Bravo troops, and the rest of the 46th Battalion as they embark on
another deployment to Iraq to last 15 months.
We sincerely hope you have a safe and successful deployment, You will be in the hearts
and prayers daily of the veterans of the 46th and we suport you all 110%.....Gary

"I now know why men who have
been to war yearn to reunite. Not
to tell stories or look at old
pictures. Not to laugh or weep.
Comrades gather because they
long to be with the men who once
acted at their best; men who
suffered and sacrificed, who were
stripped of their humanity. I did not
pick these men. They were
delivered by fate and the military.
But I know them in a way I know no
other men. I have never given
anyone such trust. They were
willing to guard something more
precious than my life. They would
have carried my reputation, the
memory of me. It was part of the
bargain we all made, the reason
we were so willing to die for one
another. As long as I have memory,
I will think of them all, every day. I
am sure that when I leave this
world, my last thought will be of my
family and my comrades... Such
good men."

| To all my brothers and sisters who served in Vietnam, even if you only spent one day there PLEASE READ the following links on Agent Orange the silent killer of all Vietnam Vets. Weather you were with the 46th Engineers or any one of the other great units serving in Vietnam especially in the mid through late 1960's when the heaviest spraying took place. But this does NOT rule out those who served in the '70's, we're all effected by this!! |

Dear: Patriotic American
Our military personnel has made great sacrifices in order to protect our country. They
work long hours and spend extended periods of time away from their families to fight for
the freedoms that we enjoy everyday..
The range of challenges they have overcome during a 15 month tour deployment in Iraq
has been extremely complex. On a daily basis their friends and family members had to
endure sacrifices during the separation process.
As a community of patriotic individuals we all should show our unwavering commitment
to recognize the soldiers who defend our country.
Bravo 46th Engineers currently stationed at Ft Rucker, AL will be returning home soon and
their families recognizes the debt of gratitude we all owe to our troops. Currently the
families of the deployed service members want to provide a wonderful welcome home
event for their service members. Unfortunately it has been very difficult to raise the
awareness and support we feel our brave men and women deserve at this time of
economic stains that concerns many of Americans in this current stage of life.
It will be very disappointing for our servicemen and woman to return back and receive no
appreciation for their service. It is paramount not to leave anyone soldier behind or to
forget the scarifies they make to keep us safe.
How can you help. Bco. 46th Engineer family members are requesting to host a Pool Party
for their love ones when they return. We are looking for monetary contributions,
giveaways, door prizes and and much needed support services for our military personnel
and their loved ones. Won’t you consider making a donation to show your support and
appreciation?
Any amount you can share will be used to make life better for those who have dedicated
their lives to protecting our freedoms. Please contact me anytime to learn how you can
make a difference.
Thank you in advance for your generous donation, consideration and recognition of the
important contributions our troops make..
On behalf of those we serve,
Thank you.
A Blue Star Spouse.
