Let’s have ‘More
Folk’ in Norfolk

One of the best ways to heal old wounds is with a “Reunion of Fellow Warriors, and their families” who share a common destiny! That is exactly what the KWVA will be doing in October when members get together at the Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel.

The Reunion Theme is “Red, White and Blue” to celebrate a patriotic gathering in the historical city of Norfolk, Virginia. You will be surrounded by the mighty U.S. Navy Fleet and members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.

We will also bring Wounded Warriors in as our guests to thank them for their sacrifices to “Freedom!”

No doubt you want some details about dates, place, cost, etc. Here they are. (We will provide more in-depth coverage in the July-August issue.)

  • DATES - 22 - 26 October 2008
     
  • PLACE - Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Hotel 777 Waterside Drive Norfolk, Virginia 23510

    • NOTE: Group rates will apply three days prior to, and three days after, the Reunion dates.
       
  • AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION - We are working on arranging for a shuttle from the airport: No shuttle is set at this time, but we are working on it.
     
  • AREA HIGHLIGHTS - Norfolk is situated in a burgeoning area which offers a great deal of sightseeing opportunities—and it is easy to get to by plane, car, bus, or ship. (The airport is conveniently located between Norfolk and Virginia Beach.)

Colonial Williamsburg is a short ride north up I-64. Virginia Beach and its magnificent boardwalk, fine seafood restaurants, Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center, unique Mount Trashmore Park, and expansive beaches is a short ride to the east.

Norfolk has its own attractions: the battleship USS Wisconsin, the science museum Nauticus, and the General Douglas MacArthur Memorial are a short distance away from our Reunion hotel. Of course, there is the Naval Base, which is always worth a visit.

If you have had enough of ships, you can always visit the U.S. Army Transportation Museum at Fort Eustis, or just pick a quiet spot near Virginia Beach and watch the pilots from Oceana Naval Air Station play with their state-of-the-art jet aircraft.

And, if you really want a thrill, ride across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. (It now accepts E-Z Pass for those of you driving.) It’s about as long as the distance between the U.S. and Korea. (Well, not quite: it’s only 17.6 miles, but it is a great ride on a sunny day.)

As I noted above, we will be providing more details in upcoming issues as we develop plans to make your stay a warm and memorable one. All you have to is circle the dates—22-26 October, 2008—on your calendar. We will do the rest.

See you in Norfolk. Sincerely and fraternally, Warren Wiedhahn, National Reunion Chairman, KWVA
