The 862nd has a new website! Even though we all have a few years behind us, our website is the newest state of the art. It can be viewed on any computer with most browsers. Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer version 7 will be the best choices. You will have to update your Flash player to view all the new goodies. I'm sure you have a child or grandchild that can help you with this. |

We Need Your old Photographs! |

We need your old photographs. Photographs from "the old army days", from the old reunions, and even some current family photos, we need them all. The slideshow on the front page of this website can be a great reminder of our past service, and our current life. Please scan your old photographs, copy them to a CD (try to save them as jpeg files if you can), and send them to Joe DiFranco either via email or U.S. Mail. If you are not so computer literate, you can also make print copies of your old photos and slides at your local drug store and send the copies along too. |
