"To all members - all info for the San Antonio reunion is now posted on the website. Also pictures of this years shirts are up. The polo shirt is actually darker than the picture, it is a dark maroon and the hat will be black. Looking forward to seeing all there, a special reunion with a wreath laying to honor the 50th Anniversary of those lost in the Hillfights. Semper Fi"

I forgot to mention that our guest of honor this year will be the 12th SgtMaj of the Marine Corps, SgtMag H. G. Overstreet. He is one of our era, joining the Marine Corps in 1966, serving in Vietnam in 1966 - 67. Thanks to 1st Sgt. John Fuller for arranging with the SgtMaj to be our guest, they served together on the drill field during their Marine Corps careers. Semper Fi

Members of 2/3, Hotel info for San Antonio Reunion 26 Apr -29 Apr 2017 will be posted on 2/3 Vietnam Veterans Association website at the beginning of next week(20 -21 Nov). We are planning a wreath laying ceremony for either the 28th or 29th of Apr but there is a possibility that there may be another ceremony honoring the Hillfights that is separate from our ceremony that may take place on Sunday the 30th of Apr. As soon as we know and have our program in place it will be posted, hopefully within the next 10 days.
It looks like we will have a special guest again this year, thanks to the efforts of Joh Fuller, more on that and the other activities to follow soon. Semper Fi, hope to see everyone in San Antonio.

Had a visit with Fergy yesterday. Even though he was hurting, he hadn't lost his sense of humor. His nurses said he is very "entertaining" to say the least. He has a great group of professional taking care of him.
