2025

The discussion of next year’s reunion was a major topic as we have decided to join the group known as the “Gator Navy” because, “that is what we are”. This new organization is the American Amphibious Force Association Home | AAFA. The 2025 reunion will be in Portland, Maine on September 14th thru the 17^th Best Western Merry Manor Inn 700 Main Street South Portland, Maine 04106.

Please visit their website at www.gatornavy.com fill out their members application and mark you calendars for a “land” reunion in Maine.
