FORT EUSTIS — Approximately 90 Vietnam War veterans and their families returned to Fort Eustis on Friday, Sept. 19, for a historic reunion hosted by graduates of the U.S. Army Transportation Officer Candidate School (TOCS), class years 1966 to 1968.
Our nation called us, and we served — we served very well, particularly my OCS classmates,” said retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. David Whaley, a TOCS Class 24-66 graduate and former Fort Eustis commander.
While the program’s impact is often overlooked, it contributed roughly 75% of all Transportation Corps second lieutenants during the buildup for the Vietnam War.
The day’s events included guided tours of Fort Eustis transportation training sites, featuring boats, locomotives and other historic assets.
