Do you miss the old gang? Do you want to spend some moments again with them to relive old times? If so, now’s the season to plan to attend that big annual reunion you’ve thought of going to for too many past years, but never did.

Were you a GI, swabbie, gyrene, WAC, WAVE, SPAR, WAF, CPO, flyboy, MP, SP, LT, EM3, SFC or anyone else who has served in the US, UK, Iwo, Inchon, China Beach, Okie, Iraq, Ketchican, Afghanistan, Kahsakstan or with a PVT name Stan? If so, maybe you’d like to see how the years have treated others from your old unit.

You know your old shipmates, squadron pals and foxhole friends are not getting any younger, and neither are you. For more complete information, contact people in your old unit who do the annual planning. Or go to listings on your internet under 2009 military reunions.
