I would like everyone to consider joining us for this reunion. It's about 3 years out, and planning has begun. We have so many folks living in the central part of the country, and it would be fun to see how many we can get out for the reunion. We will discuss this at the upcoming reunion in Colorado Springs and would like to hear what you have to say.
Many veterans organizations have taken advantage of this offer, and many groups have had 1500 - 2500 members in attendance.
We have close to 400 members and would like to see folks who have never attended one of our reunions come out and meet the rest of us. We don't want to have too many activities going on at the same time, so look at the tours above and let me know what interests you.
Tentative Saturday Schedule: Tour of the Soldiers Field Memorial, lunch at local VFW ($5 per person), Tour to the Spam Museum and return to hotel in preparation of the banquet. (Only cost would be sharing transportation costs or lunch meal). Tours could vary.
Start planning to attend and don't forget to send an email to me at jjwilson@pcisys.net with the following information:
