TBS 2‐67 Reunion
During May 2019, "Charlie Company" held our first reunion since graduation from The Basic School on 20 January, 1967. What follows is a brief snapshot of the reunion events and activites and some "memorabilia" donated by classmates during the prelude to the event. 210 Marine Officers graduated that January day, including 10 Vietnamese Marine Corps Officers. 16 of our brothers were Killed in Action and another 36 have died during or after their service to Our Country. Semper Fidelis and a Hand Salute!

Reunion Planning and Execution
Left to Right: Bob Lewis, Ty and Marci Trainor, Tom and Sandy Gay, Kenny and Lois Moore, Pete and Barbara Oatis, Ed McMenamy, Hugh and Anna Ronalds, Bill McBride The initial planning for The Reunion began in 2016 with a post by Joe Moosbrugger on a website run by another TBS Class, where he asked for those interested in a Charlie Company reunion to contact him. This started the forward motion for a TBS 2‑67 reunion. Joe had other irons in the ire at the time, so Bill McBride and Ed McMenamy began contacting members of the class and the result was the formation of a small reunion " ire team (+)" of the classmates and (later) their wives in the picture above. Thus began the months of effort and fun that culminated in the TBS 2‑67 Reunion in Fredericksburg, VA, 14‑17 May 2019. Suf ice it to say that it was an outstanding time of Teamwork and Esprit D' Corps.
