MIMI Reunion's These are small reunions put together by YOU. Have a special group, like a platoon-time frame-special buddies- that sort of thing. These are not to replace the big reunion and should not have a OPEN invite to everyone in C 2/5.
Return to ReunionTo: All Doc's Subject: Medic Reunion - May 19-22, 2011 The
time for the Reunion is drawing close and I believe we have all the
information gathered for dissemination to you, finally. I am sending
this to all, even though some have responded they will not be able to
attend. We are still hoping circumstances will change and allow you to
make the trip. There will also be a few 2/5th Vets attending the
Stars & Stripes Celebration that are not medics. Y'all are welcome
to join us in any and all activities planned. (John Mc do you have a
group or are individuals doing their own planning?) Arrangements for lodging can be made with the following info: Days Inn & Suites 400 Commerce Drive Trumann, AR 70472

Everything is fluid and can be changed as we wish. I
have tried to keep this laid back and easy for all, in lieu of a
structured program. So, y'all come and enjoy, sit back, relax and have
yourselves a grand ol' time. If I've failed to address anything you
need, which I probably have, let me know and we'll figure it out.
Many, many thanks to Barbara Adams for doing most of
the work in getting this event planned. She is known by some as MOM,
but to me she is my BFF, GF, RH, CF, RN and a bunch of other stuff that I
can't remember right now. We owe her a big thank you.
Hope to see everyone soon. Doc Gifford |
