DETAILs
NEW 3-20 06
Bushrod Carey with the 1/40 got the last room in our block of rooms. There are other rooms available at the Motel, they’ll cost you an extra $8.00 a night
We have 6 rooms left!! If you haven’t made a reservation better GET IT ON!
The banquet is still up in the air – I don’t know where to go for this. We might just book a restaurant for a meal. Any input would be most welcome!!!!
I’ll put us down for the parade. Malcolm was going to see about getting us transportation or we could arrange to ride a duck.
Speaking of Ducks if you want to take the duck ride we need to make an arrangement. The ducks will pick us up at the motel. Please e-mail me what you want to do.
There are going to be a lot more people at this reunion – it looks like a lot of fun. Send me your ideas or just show up, either way I’m getting pumped !!
PARADE APPLICATION
FRIDAY JUNE 16, 2006
STEP OFF AT 10:00 AM AT CELEBRATION CITY PARKING LOT
Just a quick message. The reservation system seems to be working – remember to use the code “I Corps”..
Do we want to get in the parade? If so I need to let the people know that are organizing the parade.
Do we want to do the “duck ride” again – it’s a lot of fun and I’ll make sure we get the surly Marine driver on our duck.
Do we want a banquet? If so where should we have the banquet? Anyone have a speaker in mind or should we keep it informal
like last year.
There are a number of things planned for “Vietnam Veteran Welcome Home”
please go to the web site and see what is available and what things we can do together.
Malcolm and I took the ride on the slick – it was $50 but we got a great ride.

I am very grateful I've had the opportunity to meet all of you. Never in a million years could I have envisioned this in '69 Viet Nam.
Thanks

My wife and I had a super time. Our special thanks to the people that put the reunion together. We enjoyed meeting and talking to everyone. It was very meaningful for me to get together with people that have such a common bond as we and knowing we went through the same thing. It wasn’t just the smiles the conversations and the sites that made the trip so great. It was what I saw in some of my brothers eyes. Some peace, some relief that was so long overdue.

Was so glad to see that 3 men from my old unit showed up. Richard Svek, Don Lawhead, & Jerry Corley. My wife & I had a great time. I was so glad to see Jerry as he was the person I most wanted to see again. We had a great time with him and his wife. Richard and his wife invited us to go with them to see the fireworks and we really enjoyed that also. shirts & battery news letter going out soon.

What a great meeting. I have commented to several that this was the greatest grouping of men and women I have ever had the privilege to visit. The loose organization of the meeting really allowed us to have time to visit with several individuals and learn about their experiences. I won't miss another reunion. Let's all work to get more from our various units to the next meeting.

Thanks to everyone who helped out, especially to you Will. Without you, we would all have been sitting on the back porch at home wasting the weekend. It was really great to meet everyone who attended. Now, I understand what the "Band of Brothers" is all about.

My family and myself really enjoyed the opportunity provided us to become acquainted with so many wonderful veterans and there families, and especially the opportunity to renew old friendships from the 2/94.I feel that it has really been good for me to get to talk to some of the veterans from the unit, helps to heal old wounds. Looking forward to visiting again, hope everyone remains in good health. Good luck to all and thanks again for all the opportunities for friendship, Don Pullen.
