On May 11, 1967 while serving their country in Viet Nam, 13 men were chosen from the 5th Naval Construction Battalion to come together to train and work. Their individual and unique skills and talents led them to form a highly competent team that would serve in the remote jungles of southeast Thailand. Here they built roads, bridges, schools, offered medical services and built good will while striving to improve the quality of life for the local people. They trained together, worked together, lived together and formed a bond which has carried through the rest of their lives.
