We are already gearing up for the next reunion. Should be the last week in September, but will post the dates when affirmed.

 

Captain John Fallon is sending out HEARTY invites to the members of the 540th, once again. While we haven't had any 540th vets show up yet, we have had a few "kids" show up! Wonderful!

 

We look forward to seeing more of you this year. I am planning on adding some entertainment this fall. Trying to scrounge up some 40's singers. That would be a blast!

 

Will be meeting once again in Lebanon, at the Quality Inn. BE THERE! :drinkin: We have a hell of a lot of fun! Ask anyone who's attended!

 

This extended invite also goes out to any member of the 39th and 1108th! The more the merrier!!! Come on down VI Corps vets!!

The Colony Room (our hospitality suite) is available to us for all four days. Snacks will be provided, along with beer and wine.

 

We usually plan a nice dinner out at a local restaurant on Friday night. If you are interested, let John or I know ahead of time so we can include you in the reservations. If not, the Colony Room will be open for your use.

 

Carl Furtado will also be "spinning" some 40's tunes this year, so be prepared to do some dancing. Toe-tapping is mandatory! :clappin2:

 

 

There will be a banquet Saturday evening. This is a semi-formal affair.

 

DVD presentations by YOURS TRULY will be shown throughout the weekend.

 

Bring your photos, etc. We have a LOT of fun reminiscing!

Perhaps someone attending the reunion can determine how many, if any members of the 36th were awarded the CIB as General Truscott recommended.

 

It would be valuable pieces of evidence if copies of documents i.e. General Orders, separation papers, etc.. would be shared.

There aren't many at all. In fact I believe John Fallon is the only one I know about. I'll ask him, but that has been the problem all along. The boys have already been down that road...

I'm outta here. Gotta catch a flight in a couple of hours. Another great reunion to attend. We are supposed to have a good turn-out. Ain't that wonderful?

Did anyone miss me? I've been gone for four days. Just got back late last night. Had a great time. More to report later. Am back to work...

Did you happen to learn anything about members of the 36th receiving the CIB?

The subject was briefly brought up, but too many things going on and so many topics to cover. Sorry! But unfortunately nothing to forward to you...
