Dear Fellow ASA Veterans: my wife of 38 years has been having multiple health set-backs and has limited my time on updating the database. Please bear with me in these trying times and hopefully I'll get back to the chore of updating all the backlog of corrections. All new registrations will be promptly answered, corrections will be noted and filed, for update later. Any ASA merchandise orders will be promptly filled, it's just updating that takes so long to get done, one record at a time. Please stand by, I will get to it eventually or in Morse Code lingo "AS5" (if I remember correctly?) and Thank You all for your support! - Vern ...... ASA LIVES!
Wife now in care center, not going so good. She is not progressing but regressing in her therapy and not sure how long they will be allowed to keep her. Her problems have shifted more to the brain telling her legs do not work like they should, even though they are actually pretty good.
It was asked if cards would be good, right now I don't think so even though she is a "card" person herself. Your PRAYERS would be greatly appreciated in her and my behalf! I know prayer works, I prayed that someday she would be off the 24/7 oxygen she has been carrying for 13 years and now she IS OFF the oxygen! Oxy level running 95-99 percent .... just like US! Amazing, as the doctors can not explain it either ... ASA LIVES! as does my Redeemer!

FREE Locator Database

ASA LIVES! (TM) is a privately constructed, and closed database available
ONLY to former members of the Army Security Agency 1945-1976

You must have the "need to know" to access. This is a "me, myself and I" proposition,
and as I am still a working stiff, taken on as a part-time, time consuming "hobby"!

This website is devoted to reuniting old living friends from the
Army Security Agency, active years 1945-1976

Remember ... if you DON'T hear from me within 24 hours of registering,
send me an e-mail.
MANY of my replies to you have been BOUNCING!
and I have no way to contact you to tell you that! Thanks - VERN

White is For The Flag We Fly ...
from the "Ballad of the ASA"
Take a listen at the link on the
left side of the page (above)


Drunken Soldiers, Always High
Dropouts from old Sigma Phi
Men who bullshit all the way,
These are the men from the ASA

Plastic cans upon our ears,
We've been cleared and
we're not Queers

One Hundred Men will test today,
But only three make the ASA

Trained to go from bar to bar,
That's the life thats best by far
Men who drink will seldom fight,
And the ASA drinks through
the night


On a Mid, a Trick Chief waits,
Four of his men are coming late
Men who drink among the best
Another drink, their last request

A teal blue scarf 'round
my son's neck

Makes my son a nervous wreck
One hundred men re-upped today,
But not a one from the ASA

Black is for the night we fear,
Blue the water we don't go near.
WHITE IS FOR THE FLAG WE FLY,
Yellow is the reason why.

Red is for the blood we've shed.
As you see, there is no red!
One hundred men reupped today.
Not a one for the A-S-A!

About the ASA Patch
Approved 15 Jun 1962

Description:
Teal blue within a 1/8 inch yellow border, a shield 2 inches wide and 3 inches in depth,and issuant from the viewer's upper left the leg of an eagle in black with yellow talons grasping two crossed white lightning flashes issuant from upper right points to base.

Symbolism:

The flashes across the blue field suggest world-wide electrical communications. The eagle's claw grasping the flashes alludes to the Agency's general mission, that of insuring the smooth functioning of the Army's communication facilities.

The big question I have: who took one look at the new patch and uttered the infamous phrase: "L.F.C.F."??
