Society of the 1st Infantry Division will hold their annual reunion Aug. 9 - 13 in New Orleans. Coordinator Phyllis Fitzgerald of Junction City noted that about 350 have signed up to attend.
Fitzgerald said some of the former commanders of the Big Red One attend. "This year it's pretty exciting. We do have one of our World War II veterans that is going to be at our reunion this year. And he'll be speaking at our memorial service.
This is the Society's 102 annual reunion. The theme this year is World War II. Regiments will set up command posts with a World War II theme.
