Wooraahh !!! We are off to Ft. Gordon, GA 2009 Reunion June 24th, 25th, 26th and 27th

The 51st Signal Bn was been deployed to Iraq. They left Ft. Lewis in August, 2008. They will not be back till later this year. We have received several News Letters from Iraq. If you have access to the internet, go to www2.itexas.net/tom to read them.

As they will be out of the country, we have been invited, by Col John W, Baker, CO, 35th Signal Brigade to come to Ft. Gordon, GA. He has asked Ltc Joe Tragaski, CO, 67th Signal Bn. to host our Reunion. I was able to meet with Col Baker and Ltc Tragaski earlier this year at Ft. Gordon. Ltc Tragaski has gone to a lot of trouble to help us out, so I want all you people to make a special effort to attend. There will be two day of non-stop activities planned by Ltc Tragaski and his staff. There will be good food and fun for all. If it is possible for you to bring either pictures or tools you used while serving with the 51st, , be sure to bring them. We will have one evening at our hotel and two evenings a Ft. Gordon. Part of our visit will be a Signal Corp Ball. If you have never seen one, it will be an experience of a life time to see all the fine young people turned out in their Dress Blue Uniforms. There will be several important ceremonies taking place there.

Augusta, GA is a large city with many thing to see, so you may want to make our Reunion a Family thing. I-20 goes right through town and our hotel is just one block south off I-20 at exit 194.

Editor note: P-2 Para-2 L-3, should read without a hitch, sorry.
