Esteemed Officers & Crew,
I hope this message finds you well.We wanted to share an important update regarding the 2026 reunion plans. The reunion committee has encountered challenges securing a suitable arrangement to host our event in Reno, Nevada. However, we’re pleased to report that Carson City, located just 30 miles down the road, is emerging as a very favorable alternative.
We are actively working with our reunion consultant at Armed Forces Reunions, Inc. to negotiate costs and reserve a block of rooms in Carson City.
While the venue location is changing, the Reno-Tahoe International Airport will still serve as the primary travel hub for the area, so no changes to flight plans are necessary.
To help you get familiar with the new location, here’s a map link to Carson City, NV.
Local Attractions in Carson City: Carson City offers a rich blend of history, culture, and out-door beauty. Here are just a few highlights you might enjoy during your visit:
