Reunion 2010 Information

"Soldiers don’t die until they are forgotten; Tomb Guards never forget."

The 2010 Bi-Annual Reunion will take place this year November 12 - 14.  It will be held at the home of the Old Guard, Fort Myer, VA. We will be using the same hotel and facility that we used previously since they 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.
