MARCHING FORWARD WITH ARMY REUNIONS
AFR’s long history of planning Army reunions began in 1989 when we handled the 25th Infantry Division’s Nashville reunion. The following year we added the 247th Combat Engineering Bn. and others. Things really took off in the1990s; before long we were planning reunions for the following Infantry Division associations: 63rd, 69th, 83rd, 87th, 94th, 96th, 102nd, 104th, and 106th as well as the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 11th Armored Division associations.
In recent years we’ve developed partnerships with the Americal Division, 196th Light Infantry Brigade, OV-1 Mohawk Assn., Army Otter Caribou Assn., the 4th, 5th, and 9th Infantry Divisions, the 4/9 Manchu Infantry (Vietnam) Assn., and the Special Forces Assn. 
What’s great to see are the sons and daughters of our WWII vets taking over the reins and keeping the reunions alive. We now plan reunions in conjunction with the legacy chapters of the 87th, 104th, and 106th Infantry Divisions. AFR is able to join older and smaller groups together to help keep the flame burning.
Some of the more popular Army reunion destinations are:
- Columbus, GA (or Atlanta): home to Fort Benning and the National Infantry Museum and the temporary location for the National Armor & Cavalry Museum
- Fayetteville: home to Fort Bragg and the Airborne and Special Operations Museum, the 82nd Airborne Division War Memorial Museum, U.S. Army JFK Special Warfare Museum, and the Natl. Museum of the Army Reserve.
