The chosen site for the 2003 reunion is in the Washington, DC
area at the
DoubleTree Hotel in Crystal City, VA. This is just across the
Potomac River from the famous city and allows you quick access to
any part of the historic sites within the city as well as the
buildings that house the legislators that you elected to run this
country’s government. 
You will be able to re-live the past by visiting the
Smithsonian Museum and its many and varied buildings. You can see
your government officials at work doing what they do whatever they
do. You can visit the largest outlet mall on the East Coast that is
within one hour’s drive from the hotel. You can view the Nation’s
Capital from the special reserved meeting room high a top of the
hotel giving you a panoramic selection of virtually every part of
the city both during the day and also at night seeing the lights
glow around all the monuments.
Special attention is
being given to see that all attending will have the largest
selection of tours, sites to visit, buildings to see, an attempt is
being made for a special visit to the White House for all those
wanting to see that famous structure and there may also be a cruise
on the Potomac River which will include dinner and
dancing.
The Reunion
Committee has committed to see that each of you have a great fun
time while here. While you visit with your old friends and comrades,
there will be times for fun and laughter. Each attendee will be
participating in a fun auction with Knight Dollars in the form of
coins being supplied for the bidding. Each shinny gold colored coin
will have the 114th Aviation Company Association logo on one side
and a number denomination on the other side. The total number of
coins to be distributed will equal the number of $1,000,000 in
Knight Dollars. You will be given a bag of these coins and will be
given the opportunity to get additional coins by participating in
various functions during the reunion. When the time comes for the
auction, everyone will have an opportunity to view the items being
placed up for bid and everyone will have plenty of coins to do the
bidding. Don’t be timid and bid with gusto and get what you want and
have fun.
The Golf
Tournament is being scheduled to allow the many golfing enthusiasts
the opportunity to be the best. It is planned that the participants
will have a luncheon at noon and tee off at 1 pm. Prizes will be
awarded for all types of achievements including for the golfer that
looses the largest number of balls on the course. Mel Cook will be
your host and he plans to see that you have a great time while here.
He will give you the same special attention that he gave to
President Clinton during his term in the office of President. You
can’t get it any better than that.
If permitted,
our regular memorial service will be held at the Vietnam Wall Memorial. There is no better setting for this
service and no more solemn recognition of those fallen members than
at the national site chosen to honor them. It is anticipated that
even those who have shied away from this service in the past will
not be able to pass up this special
occasion. |
