The Retired Enlisted Association
(TREA) is providing the Military Reunion Listings as a FREE service to the
veteran community. I search the internet looking for reunions and then send
requests for the information to the listed POC. I sent 4,788 reunion
organizations e-mails, in calendar years 2006 and 07, requesting information on
their reunions, 61.5 % responded with information. We have 2,685 – 2006, and 07
listings in the archives. With the last listing update, we have 860 reunion
listings for calendar years 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011.
Please take a look at our website, www.trea.org, scroll down the left side and
click on Reunions/Buddies, and this will bring up the reunion page. As reunions
are completed, they are transferred to the Completed Listing at the end of the
month. There, they will remain as a reference point for someone looking for a
unit contact. My intention is that each calendar year reunions will be
individually listed.
