Any First Calvery Vets here?
 
Cindy's elderly Uncle Roland, mid 80's, served with the "First Cav" during WWII...the Pacific campaign.

On our last visit, I'd asked him if he and those he served with ever got together after the war. He didn't know about the others, but he hadn't...

Then he added it would be great to contact those guys again.

So, any tips on how to find out if there is a reunion group, how to get him in touch??

Military Reunion Center

Best to Uncle Roland,
Tom

First Cav has many groups. Around Christmas, I introduced my father to a Cav group made up of people from the company he'd served with during his two tours in Nam. Was able to find out who made it, who didn't . . . caught up with 40 years of history. If you need help finding your Uncle's unit organization, let me know and I can help search.

Within 10 minutes of showing this site to my Brother, he found 4 shipmates (USS Oriskany) that he had been curious about.

That's pretty funny, when I first saw the title I was thinking something like that.

Many thanks for this Joe! Cindy's Uncle isn't online, but I'm betting his caretaker Jenny is. She's a sweetheart, He's lucky to have her.

Anyway, printing out the "find a buddy" section, will snail mail it over...:D
