2003 -2010 Reunions

2003-2010 Reunions

2003

The 2003 Reunion was held at Beaufort, SC in July. The reunion was held in conjunction with the squadron's 60th anniversary. The squadron personnel simply overwhelmed us with their open arms and hospitality. Marines spanning the entire 60 year history were in attendance--from the F4U's of Guadalcanal to the F/A-18's of Operation Iraqi Freedom and all those other fantastic flying machines in between. Here is a list of Attendees

2005

We all had a wonderful time renewing old acquaintances, sampling that famous gulf coast cuisine, and spending time at the National Museum Of Naval Aviation located on board N.A.S. Pensacola. Look for a recap of activities in the Fall 2005 Newsletter Click here for a list of the faithful Attendees. A special thanks to all the family members and friends who accompanied their Marines to our reunion.

Special thanks to our planners Jim Brady and Lisa Hazeltine for such a fun filled three days. We debuted the new reunion banner...

We ate Bar-B-Q, saw Elvis, ate some more Bar-B-Q, got to hang with old friends from K-3, met new friends from Da Nang and The Rose Garden and a Silver Eagle from the 80's who helped take the Hornets on their first West Pac tour, laughed with one another, and were proud to carry on the Association's mission.

2004

The 2004 Reunion was held in Quantico, VA (Dumfries) in August. In addition to seeing old friends and meeting new ones, our itinerary included visits to all the war memorials in Washington, D.C., a trip to the new air and space museum (The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center) and a spectacular Sunset Parade at the famous 8th & I Marine Barracks. We especially enjoyed the company of the 59-61 Group which chose to be a part of this year's reunion. Details of all the reunion activities are contained in the Fall 2004 Newsletter. Thanks to our Chairman, Lynn Hagen, for the time and effort in putting the newsletter together for us to enjoy.
