1. Added Chris Noel page link in the Resources & Links page plus a small YouTube embed. If you are not of the Vietnam era, nor a Vietnam Vet chances are you have not heard of Chris Noel. If you are a Vietnam Vet the chances are very good that you know of her through AFVN "Good Morning Vietnam" - "A Date With Chris" or her many visits and tours via the USO and otherwise. Shot down twice in chopters visiting forward base camps.
2. Picture of 175th NCS and content added to RFP page

Finally added some items to the Supply Room. Catalog with links to CafePress Caps, hats, t-shirts and so forth. Also in catalog pages of the Supply Room developing Amazon recommendations geared to ASA and related interests.
Added FS Augsburg beer story as orignally appeared on the Field Station Augsburg site (site is in caretaker status at this time).. Used with permission.
Memmingen Detachment Page restored. One photo. Surely someone out there has photos and stories to offer about this well known ASA Germany detachment.
Added additional photos to Bob Garrison's Tay Ninh site photo album.
Will start a Vietnam Tour Album, beginning with additonal photos contributed by Bob. This album, as much as possible, I would like to be concentrated on Vietnam and the people also than soley just the war. Dig out your photos and send your best.
Donald Marsh sent in a story of his last view of Cam Ranh Bay Det's Eight Ball.

Started a new page 14th USASAFS under the ASA Pac section of the site. Will add more Field Station overview pages as I get the content.
I am creating section headers under the Europe and Pacific sections of the site so that the main navigation bar performs more consisently.
Received photos from Bob Garrisson of Tay Ninh Det circa 67/68. Added to the Tay Ninh page as a gallery.
I have started adding seperate Duty Roster pages to each detachment's site segiment. A clickable Duty Roster Page entry will be in the small left column for those dets that the information has been included.
Since last post I have restored Det A Korea, Sinop Point Site, Schleswig and Con Son Island. In all about 8 pages have been added and approximately 80 more photos.
I have also added a Duty Roster Search Form page. The search is based mainly on last name searches. It only searches the dury roster entries. You can do as well, plus get site wide results, by using the site's main search box which is on the upper right side of each page just under the main menu.
Overnight June 14/15 the GuestBook page was attacked, trying to post numeruous SPAM listing. I reset the script for the Guestbook to a stronger one and set Captcha to be used on all content comment type pages. I have also set a longer period between posts (you have to wait a bit before being allowed to add another comment). I do not like having to use the Captcha everywhere, but looks like I will have to do so for a while anyway.
Det C, 177th Korea and Sinzig detachment pages restored.
Mike Mulich's Channel Market and Flash example has been restored to the Aviano - Ravenna Det page. Additional the Flash example is also available from the J-37 Key link on Mike's memorial page.
