TO ALL MEMBERS:

The updated 2024 Scholarship Application and requirements are now posted on the website under the Scholarship section. Please see the requirements below:

Tan Son Nhut Association Scholarship 2024

The Tan Son Nhut Association is accepting applications for the school year beginning in the Fall of 2024 for a $5,000 scholarship from high school seniors and new in 2024, for a $1,000 scholarship for students who chose to attend a two-year technical, career or trade school instead of seeking a bachelor's degree.

The student must be a direct descendant of one who served in Vietnam for any period from January 1, 1959, to April 30, 1975.

Service may be either with the Armed Forces of the United States or the Republic of Vietnam or as a civilian at Tan Son Nhut Air Base either as an American or Vietnamese citizen.

Deadline to apply is May 1, 2024.

The $5,000 scholarship is awarded in equal amounts over four years, provided the student maintains a 3.00 grade point average at the end of each school term and completes a minimum of 30 semester hours each year. Scholarship recipients must furnish an official transcript at the end of each spring semester.

Recipients of the $5,000 scholarship must pursue a four-year degree as a resident student at an accredited United States accredited college or university that grants bachelor or higher degrees but may begin higher education studies at a two-year accredited institution and transfer to an accredited school to complete the final two years leading to a bachelor's degree.

New in 2024 is a $1,000 scholarship for high school seniors who attend a two-year technical, career or trade school instead of pursuing a bachelor's degree. This scholarship is awarded in two $500 increments provided the recipient achieves a 3.00 GPA. Scholarship recipients must send an official transcript at the end of each spring semester to the address below.

Complete information about eligibility, distribution of benefits, and renewal of the scholarship and the application are available at the Tan Son Nhut Association website (TSNA.org) and must be postmarked no later than May 1, 2024 to:

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of our brother Dale Bryan.

Dale served his country at Tan Son Nhut May 1967 to May 1968 and was TSNA Director-at-Large in 2006 and Secretary from 2007 - 2023.

Dale Floyd Bryan, who was born in Santa Cruz, California on April 20, 1942 to Floyd and Betta (Ebert) Bryan, departed this life on February 6, 2024 in Leander, Texas. He was supported by his wife Judy and his son David in his final moments.

Dale graduated from San Jose State University in 1964 with a degree in Mathematics. While at San Jose, he was a member of the Air Force ROTC, and upon graduation entered the United States Air Force. He was then sent back to San Jose State University by the USAF to obtain his degree in Meteorology in 1965. He became a member of the American Meteorological Society in 1964 and was a lifelong member.

Dale was sent to Warren Air Force base in Cheyenne, Wyoming where he spent two years and met Judy Berger, his future wife. They were married on June 18, 1966 in Cheyenne. Dale was sent to Vietnam in May 1967 and served there for one year. From Vietnam he was assigned to the 54th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, based in Guam, as a Typhoon Chaser.

After leaving military service he began working for the National Weather Service/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Dale worked for NWS/NOAA in California and Maryland. In 1978 Dale began working as an on-camera meteorologist for A.M. Weather, an early morning show targeted to pilots and farmers, produced at the Public Broadcasting Station in Owings Mills, Maryland. He was one of the first on camera meteorologists at the Atlanta, Georgia based The Weather Channel when it debuted in 1982. He also worked at the Raytheon Corporation, and as a contractor with the Federal Aviation Administration (Veracity, SAIC, Conwall), where he worked to improve airport safety.

In retirement, he was active in several veterans’ organizations, including the Military Order of the World Wars, The Tan Son Nhut Association, The VFW, and volunteering with the Veteran’s Memorial Plaza (VMAG) at Sun City, in Georgetown, TX.

In addition to living in California, Wyoming, Virginia, Maryland, Georgia and Texas, Dale and his family enjoyed living in Colorado, Oklahoma, New Jersey and Minnesota. Dale and Judy retired to the Austin, Texas area in 2013. Besides Judy, he is survived by three children: Nancy (Terry) Stockner, David (Marcia) Bryan and Vicki Bryan, as well as his grandchildren, Daniel (Sarah) Daff, Joshua Daff, Joe (Kaitlin) Daff, Alex Bryan and Ellie Bryan. He was also great grandpa to Kaylen Daff, Kilian Daff and Ella Daff.
