Reunion 2008 Information "Soldiers don’t die until they are forgotten; Tomb Guards never forget."
|
|
The 2008 Bi-Annual Reunion will take place this year November 14-16. It will be held at the home of the Old Guard, Fort Myer, VA. However, we're going to be doing things a little differently this time. We decided to use a different hotel and also a facility that can accommodate all of our needs. Therefore, we have only reserved one hotel in the area with our special Society of the Honor Guard, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier rates and where all events (except where noted) will be taking place. As details start coming in, we will post them immediately so, please check back often.
