Reunions
are a time for all of us to gather together and renew old friendships and
make new ones and
we want each of you to be a part of this great event.
The Troopers of the 1st Cavalry Division Association will be
meeting in Bloomington, Minnesota
to celebrate our 63rd Annual Reunion from 2-6 June, 2010. The Walter
H. Westman Northland Chapter is going to have an excellent program set up
so make plans now to join us for our first reunion in Minnesota.
Forms to register for the reunion will be posted on this web page, will be
mailed out with the 2010 calendars, and published in SABER beginning with
the November/December issue.

This hotel will serve as our Reunion Headquarters for the 63rd Annual
Reunion and all of our regularly scheduled events will occur here.
