6thforever

My thanks to both of you. This trip to Normandy on the anniversary of D-Day is just too big an opportunity to pass up. I'm going to have my friend take a picture of the bug at a recognizable spot and log that as the origin. Later in June, the bug will go into a new physical cache in Angel Fire, NM.

Army Security Agency 1967-71. I did basic at Ft. Ord, then 9 months at Ft. Devens, Mass, for training. I arrived in Vietnam in November of 1968, and was assigned to the 8th Radio Research Field Station at Phu Bai. After Vietnam I was stationed at Two Rock Ranch Station near Petaluma, CA.

I want to know what the correct protocol for activating a travel bug is in the following situation. I have purchased and decorated a travel bug which is to be known as the "Vietnam Veterans" travel bug. Once activated, its mission will be to travel to caches near U.S. veteran memorials. My original plan was to place it and activate it at our military reunion in late June. Now it turns out that a WWII veteran friend will be going to Omaha Beach in France, where there is a virtual cache. This would be an ideal and propitious place to originate the bug. How should I do this? Shall I wait until the day he is at the cache and activate it with Omaha Beach as the point of origin? I want him to then mail the bug to me so that I can put it in the cache at the reunion. Am I making too big a deal out of this?
