To Veterans and Friends of the Military Railway Service:
Just a quick update on the activities scheduled and being

Fort Lee.

__________________________________________________________
In addition to the Corps' scheduled events, two Korean War
MRS units, the 712th Transportation Railway Operating Battalion and the 765th
Transportation Railway Shop Battalion, will be holding reunions in late August
and early September. They both extend an
invitation to other MRS veterans and all interested in this component of TC
history to come join them for some or all of their planned events. I personally have attended several of these
MRS reunions and have come away with a much greater appreciation of what the
MRS Veterans of those units experiences and contributed in the service of our
country. I assure you that you will come
away finding the trip was well worth the time and effort.
The 712th Transportation Railway Operating Battalion (TROB)
yearly reunion that will be taking place in Nashville, TN. Arrival is scheduled
for Friday, August 29th. The reunion
will begin on Saturday morning, August 30th and conclude with a banquet on
Monday evening, Sept. 1st. Departure
will be on Tuesday, Sept. 2nd. This
year, due to the age of the members of our group, we are changing things up a
bit. My dad is 84, having served in
Korea, and most of the rest are about the same.
I think the youngest member is 80. We are holding a "military
muster" hosted by the 712th T.R.O.B.
It is open to any veteran who would like to attend. We encourage younger veterans, (Cold War,
Viet Nam, and newer), who may never have had a reunion or attended one of their
own groups' reunion.
Interested persons can contact me at the below listed
information for a registration form and details.:

The 765th Transportation Railway Shop Battalion will be
holding its 2014 reunion at the Clarion Hotel (Airport) in Memphis, TN, from
September 17th through the 21st. Like the 712th TROB, they extend an invitation
to all veterans and those interested in military railway history to join them
and share their reunion. For further
