A Hearty Congratulations to John "Gator" Hebert of our sister unit the 142nd Trans Co (AM&S)(DS) on his receipt of the Louisiana Veteran's Honor Medal. "Gator" is seen here with Governor Bobby Jindal and his Grandson Ryan after the April 23, 2010 ceremony in Houma, Louisiana.
Note: "Gator" was instrumental in helping get this site up and running. "Well done My Friend!!"
The Louisiana Veterans Honor Medal was created by Act 695 of 2008 Louisiana Legislature. The intention is to recognize and honor all Louisiana veterans. One side of the medal bears an outline of the state and the words, “United States Armed Forces.” The flip side reads, “Louisiana appreciates your service to our country.”
"You are Invited"

On behalf of 1SG Jennifer Callicutt and I, we cordially invite you to
attend our small, but significant Unit Lineage and Honors Ceremony at
the Transportation Museum, the 2nd of December, 2011 beginning at 1400.
The 690th is the last of three Rapid Port Opening Elements to activate,
and will unveil its' newly researched lineage and honors. Our guest of
honor is Mr. Paul Anderson, a former member of the unit during Vietnam
when the unit was organized as the 610th Transportation Company (AM)(GS).
Following the ceremony, 2LT Hunter Cantrell will host a promotion
ceremony to 1LT followed by light refreshments.
Please RSVP to 2LT Sharayah Smith (cc'd) above, as space is very
