Conflicts between VDHA Reunions and Ours
Hi Guys, Just attended a board meeting with the VDHA last night where I presented a plea to the board to have their reunions put back on even numbered years so as not to conflict with our reunions. In 2013, they decided to have a reunion on the same weekend as ours because their 2012 reunion was washed out by Hurricane Isaac in New Orleans. I have been screaming "Foul" ever since and did not attend their reunion even though I am a vice president. I told them I can only attend their reunion this year if we can make some changes. Presentation went well. The change was voted upon and won along with their next reunion not happening until the year 2018. This pissed off a few of the officers but I told them they never should have gone to the odd year in the first place because the Army Sentry Dogs aren't the only toes they stepped on but we are the only ones who protested it the strongest. No more conflicts of reunions now. See you in Washington DC. Ernie Ayala, Vice President of Units, VDHA. P.S. Try to make it to Nashville, TN on Oct 23-25 for the VDHA reunion if you can.

Reunion 2015
Folks I got the below note from Charlie Hahn February 17, 2015. I forgot to post it on the website at the time. Don Ristine 212th 65-67 pointed out to me March 1st. Since then I have been having computer problems at my home. I am having to use my daughter's computer to post this please bare with me. There's been a change of dates for the reunion and also for the hotel. The new date is just one week earlier Thursday October 1 to Saturday October 3. The hotel is now the Renaissance Hotel at DuPont Circle, a Marriott Hotel. This is a bigger hotel and has facilities to accommodate our dinner. Sorry for the change of plans, but I believe we will get a better rate for the new dates. I hope this doesn't inconvenience anybody who might have booked airline tickets. I will definitely have all arrangements by the end of the month. Sorry for this but the weather has been bad and a few snow flakes and DC closes down. Government workers ...enough said!

Hepatits C linked to Agent Orange Exposure
I had my annual physical this past Wed and all is well there. They asked if I would like my blood be drawn to be tested for Hep C. I did. They explained that there is a like to Agent Orange. First I heard of it but was wondering if you could post this on the Alumni web site or Facebook to alert the guys.
Thanks Dave Johns 981st 70-71
