A Message from the Reunion Coordinator
While attending in July 2010 the reactivation ceremony of the 343rd Bomb Squadron at Barksdale AFB and meeting some more of the fellows involved in the Ploesti Raids, myself and a couple other folks came up with the idea of combining our 98th Annual Reunion to include anyone invoked with those Raids. Well never in my wildest dreams did I envision just what that idea would mean, over these last few month’s I have meet (talked with) some of the most grandest and wonderful gentleman who were a part of those horrible missions and they like myself are truly looking forward to this great and once in a lifetime Reunion. Bring your Memories, your Stories and Memorabilia to share with everyone !!!
We look forward to seeing you there !!!
