Welcome

If you have not already done so, please send in your registration immediately – see the updated registration link below. The last week of May we will be finalizing all the plans, including badges, t-shirts, meals, etc. 

The hotel is filling up and may already be out of the allotted rooms at the special rate.

We will be posting the passing of those who served with 5/60, whether they had joined the Association or not. If you know of someone not on the list on the “DEPARTED” page, please let me know soon so we can include them during the memorial service on Sunday, June 14.

I look forward to seeing you at the Reunion!

Brothers,

Below is the Registration Form for the 2026 Reunion in St. Louis, MO, June 11-14.

Note the deadlines and get your registrations and reservations in early – we do not block as many rooms as in previous years since our ranks are thinning.

You served with honor, courage, and sacrifice — and that bond doesn’t fade with time.

A reunion is more than just a gathering. It’s a chance to reconnect with the people who understand your journey in a way no one else can. It’s laughter over shared memories, reflection on how far you’ve come, and the comfort of knowing you’re not alone in your experiences.

Whether it’s been a few years or a few decades, your presence matters. You were part of something bigger than yourself — and you still are.

Come for the camaraderie. Come for the stories. Come to be reminded that the strength of your service lives on in every handshake, every hug, and every shared smile.

We can’t wait to see you there.

Welcome home — again.

• Continue to maintain a first class web page. The webpage is the Associations “face and voice” to members. The webpage must be updated routinely with new information such as names and pictures. This is the first priority.

• Continue to build the Association’s membership. Only through identifying additional members of the battalion and bringing them into the Association can we fulfill the Association mission. Expanding membership is the second priority.

• Strengthen the role of the Company Representatives. The Association Officers cannot reach out to all members as the membership grows. Company Representatives are the “company commanders” to grow members and to discuss the desires and needs of the membership.

• Plan and hold reunions as desired by membership. During each reunion unofficial polls should be taken to decide how frequently reunions should be held. Identify locations, plan programs and provide a meaningful experience along the line of the mission’s statement of the Association.

• Hold periodic elections as required. Hold elections at reunions or as required on line.
