541st Transportation Company

Welcome to the 541st Transportation Company's website. This site is dedicated to the men of the 541st with the hope that it will provide inspiration and assistance to all.

The Christmas list is the foundation of this website and the wellspring for all that flows from it. The list contains the names of all the men on the 541st Transportation Company Roster on Christmas Day 1966.

The list provides a rare opportunity for the men of the Second Wave (we were the replacements for the original company of men) to re-unite. It provides us with the opportunity to compare an entire group of men who served together at one time in the Republic of South Viet Nam. We will be able to compare many things; such as, health issues, social and economic differences to name a few. It allows us to educate not just the men of the 541st Transportation Company, but all that served in the Viet Nam War and effects of the war on the men of the 541st Transportation Company and American Society ever since.

541st Website Founder Joe Mays passed away on Sunday May 9, 2010 after a long battle with cancer.

Joe was instrumental in bringing us together again after all these years. I still remember when I got his first email on June 29, 2008.

Here is what it said:

"Hi,

I was in the 541st TC and want to locate guys I was there with, from June, 1966 to June 1967."

There were many emails and phone calls as we searched for 541st former members.

Joe set up this website January 29, 2009.

Joe will always be remembered by all of us our prayers go out to his family.

Thank You
John
