About SAME National

Society Beginnings | Certificate Of Incorporation | Society Charter | Colors & Insignia National SAME Site : http://www.same.org Society Beginnings April 6, 1917, found only a few hundred professional military engineers on active duty with the Army. Although Congress had authorized an Engineer Reserve Corps shortly before, few had actually enrolled, and even fewer had undergone military training. With the Declaration of War, the Regular Army was confronted with the task of expanding its forces to several millions. Civilian engineers entered the service, and, by their morale, training, initiative, and ability, were, in a great measure, responsible for the enviable record made by the Corps of Engineers, Regular, Reserve, and National Guard in World War I. More than 11,000 officers and 285,000 enlisted men engaged in military engineering activities in that war. Upon demobilization the civilian engineers went their separate ways. It seemed that the happy and close...

History

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:16:44 GMT

Houston The Houston Post was founded in 1948 and celebrated 50 years as a Post in 1998. In 1998, as part of the Post’s 50-year celebration, we changed our official name to the Houston/Galveston Post, solidifying our ties with the Galveston District, USACE. Posts are the designation SAME gives their Chapters because the first ones were located on Army Posts. Since 1994 the Houston/Galveston Post has been very active and is one of, if not the fastest growing post in the Society. The success and growth of the Houston/Galveston Post is attributable to the support of the Sustaining Members, enthusiasm of Individual Members and involvement of its Public Agency Members such as METRO, the City of Houston Department of Public Works and Engineering, the City of Missouri City, Fort Bend County, Galveston County, Harris County Office of Emergency Management, Harris County Flood Control District, the Port of Houston, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, NASA Johnson Space Center, and the...
