Military reunion listings on www.trea.org

The following message was recently shared with our group and I'm posting it here to bring about as much dissemination as we can get.


*******
I have a request that possibly you can help me with; not many veterans are aware of the reunion listings on our website. I'm sure many of your fellow Soldiers have been in other organizations and may wonder if they have a reunion.

Would It be possible to put a note in any website or published newsletters, you may have, telling your fellow Soldiers about the website reunion listings?
We need to get the word out to the veteran community.

The Retired Enlisted Association (TREA) is providing the Military Reunion Listings as a FREE service to the veteran community. I search the internet looking for reunions and then send requests for the information to the listed POC. I sent 4,788 reunion organizations e-mails, in calendar years 2006 and 07, requesting information on their reunions, 61.5 % responded with information. We have 2,685 – 2006, and 07 listings in the archives. With the last listing update, we have 723 reunion listings for calendar years 2008, 09, 10, and 2011.

Please take a look at our website,
www.trea.org,
scroll down the left side and click on Reunions/Buddies, and this will bring up the reunion page. As reunions are completed, they are transferred to the Completed Listing at the end of the month. There, they will remain as a reference point for someone looking for a unit contact. My intention is that each calendar year reunions will be individually listed.

I appreciate any help you can provide in getting the word out to the Veterans.
