This past May the 416th ENCOM Association held a reunion at Fort Belvoir, VA. The highlight of the reunion was our visit to the new National Museum of the US Army located there. The attendees were very impressed with The Museum and with the Path of Remembrance leading up to The Museum. The Path of Remembrance includes individual memorial bricks set into the walkway as well as unit tribute plaques lining the wall along the path. 

As a result of the May visit the leadership of the 416th ENCOM Association has committed itself to placing a 416th TEC/416th ENCOM tribute plaque on the wall. We are beginning the process of designing such a unit tribute plaque for display along the Path of Remembrance at Fort Belvoir. 

The cost of placing a plaque on the wall along the Path of Remembrance is $5,000. We have already received pledges totaling $4,050 from former members of the 416th TEC/ENCOM. But, we still need additional donation pledges to reach our $5,000 goal. Tuesday, November 28th is Giving Tuesday and we realize that many charitable organizations will be asking for donations and pledges. Wouldn't you please consider a donation pledge by next Tuesday to help us reach our goal?

We have attached a draft representation of the plaque as an example, please remember that it has not been finalized quite yet.

Any excess funds that we may raise will be 100% added to our new 416th ENCOM Association Scholarship Program where we will be giving scholarships to 416th TEC Soldiers!
