PAGE 2             SPECIAL SEND HOME COPY, THE PSYN-POST             VOLUME 1 # 20

   Just as yesterday blended into the backdrop for today, so too, will the present dissolve into the future to form a perfect harmony. In harmony, as in life, it's difficult to distinguish one note from the other----one face from another.

   Over the period of months past, across the now-ending track of time, each of us has traveled with many others. In time to come, the well-remembered faces may become a little hazy around the edges; the may fade into the mess of background in a picture of a big event that you see in the newspapers almost every day. The nameless and the unknown faces far off in the distance beyond recognition.
   In this special edition of The Psyn-Post, we've tried to prevent the descent of haziness and fog in the future. We've tried to capture each and every face, all the moods and the escaping moments, and possibly, the magic of that time which can never come again, that brief and passing fancy when our relatives and friends addressed letters signed endearingly, and packages with chocolate cakes, to YOU, care/of the Psychological Warfare Detachment, 5021 ASU, Fort Riley, Kansas.
   In the ensuing pages we've tried to capture each of you; look hard, and you'll find yourself there somewhere among the following pages----as a member of the PsyWar Detachment. A place that was----during a time that can never come again.

THE PSYN-POST IS PUBLISHED BY THE EM OF THE PSYWAR DET. 5021 ASU, FORT RILEY, KANSAS. IT IS PRINTED FOR INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, EDITORIAL CONTENTS DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THOSE OF THE DEPT. OF ARMY. PHOTOS BY DETACHMENT PHOTOGRAPHER, PIO.

DEDICATION

   This Special Send Home Copy of The Psyn-Post was initiated some three weeks ago, and ever since then, the entire staff of the unit newspaper, a few of whom are pictured above, devoted their time, talents, and energy to it. This issue marks the last time The Psyn-Post will be published for the Detachment; henceforth, it shall become the newspaper used for training by the 6th RB&L.
   This issue of the unit newspaper is respectfully dedicated to all the officers and EM who were part of the Detachment, perhaps not from the very beginning, but at least, to the very end.

This is not a copy of the original. However the text is as it was originally and the photographs are inserted in the same general location as in the original. Many thanks to Elmer Horne, former 2nd Lt in the 2nd L & L and PsyWar Detachment (see S 2 Section on Page 9), who supplied a copy of "The Psyn-Post" and without whose help this page would not be possible.

PLEASE NOTE: Most links will open in a new "window". To return to previous page close the new window. Thank you.
