Reunion Announcements

A reunion for the military women who served in Operation Just Cause is being planned for Dec 2001 in the Washington D.C. area. A Pentagon Official has committed to speak at the reunion. If there is sufficient interest I plan to get other government officials to attend to address our issues and concerns. Our stories should be shared with each other and with our country. Contact D.R. Day at t57r@hotmail.com for details. I also need committee volunteers. Though this war was small, it was still significant to those of us who served!

Dear fellow Korea War Veterans:

Come one come all to the greatest ever Canadian Korea Veterans Association’s 10^th Biennial Convention and Reunion Hosted in Edmonton, Alberta Canada, September 5-September 8^th, year 2002.

Plan yourselves a fantastic Canadian/Alberta holiday around this Reunion. Visit the Magnificent Canadian Rockies, the Columbia Ice Fields, visit the world famous resorts of Banff, Lake Louise, and Jasper. Plan a trip north to Alaska or a pacific Coast Cruise then please return to the City with the Worlds Largest Mall, The City of Champions, The Klondike City, the City hosting the Greatest Reunion in the new millennium, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

All Veterans from the 21 Countries who served in the Korean War or subsequent to the Cease-Fire are welcome to attend, as well as spouses, or other family members and interested friends (KVA Membership not required). It will be a great opportunity to meet old comrades and make new friends with whom we share a common bond.

This is our first early warning letter and we are asking you, the recipients of this letter, to please pass the news on to your unit, other units and comrades.

I'm trying to organize a boot camp reunion for the girls of Platoon 4004 who were at Parris Island from November of 1990 through February 1 of 1991. Our drill instructors were Brown, Branch, Asberry, and Thomas. I have been able to locate a few ladies so far, but we are missing many! If you didn't go to boot camp at that time, but would like to hold your own reunion at the same time, same place, maybe we could arrange for a group discount. A Vegas weekend with the girls -- think about it! Please contact me at: hlthy1@hotmail.com
