1st Marine Division Association 2021 Reunion
Dear Members,
2021 marks the 80th anniversary of the 1st Marine Division landing at Guadalcanal, the 50th anniversary of 1st Marine Division’s return from Vietnam and the 30th anniversary of Desert Storm. In addition, the Division Association plans to honor surviving World War II veterans with the ceremonial opening of the “Last Man Bottle” of cognac.
In the hope that Corona virus vaccinations, masks and social distancing significantly reduce the virus’ contagion, Reunion planning is ongoing. The Reunion will be held in the San Diego area. Planners have identified potential reunion dates, lodging and events.
Reunion access to Camp Pendleton is subject to 1st Marine Division and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton approval. We hope to have a “Go”/No Go” for the Reunion and access to Camp Pendleton not later than 1 June 2021.
In view of the foregoing conditions, will you attend the 2021 Reunion? Please RSVP to Dennis Coady, 1st Marine Division Association Administrative Assistant, if you and your family or guests plan to attend. Email or call Dennis at: dennis.oldbreed@fmda.us or 760-763-3268
Join your brothers-in-arms in August
