It’s the best time of the year in Charleston, South Carolina and preparations for our next reunion are well underway.  Our dates, hotel, and entertainment for the banquet are all set up.  So, set your calendars and start making plans to visit the South Carolina Low Country in October 2012.  Native Charlestonians will tell you that this is the spot where the Ashley and Cooper Rivers come together to form the Atlantic Ocean.

The Vietnam Veterans of A Company, family and friends will meet again near Charleston, South Carolina from October 12-14, 2012.  We’ll be staying in the Charleston-Mt. Pleasant Holiday Inn just a few miles across the Cooper River from downtown Charleston and the Battery.  We’ve blocked out 60 rooms for our group and more can be added as we need them.  Some of the rooms are set up for those of us who will need a little assistance, so let them know when you make your reservations.  All rooms will be $119/night + taxes and parking is included.  The hotel will honor that rate for 3 days before and 3 days after our get-together.  So, don’t hesitate to make your stay a mini-vacation.  Sometime this month, the hotel will open a web site for us through which they can start taking reservations.    We’ll be working with Tony Durbin to keep you posted.

As in Chattanooga, we’ll have a hospitality room set up with our own beverages and snacks as a place to meet informally, make plans for visiting the area, and thell those old war stories yet again (if our wives aren’t listening).  After dinner on Saturday night, e’ll be entertained by the Plantation Singers whose music is particularly identified with South Carolina.  Music from the 60s and 70s will be played by a disc jockey for the rest of the evening for dancing and socializing.

Looking forward to seeing you in Charleston next year — Cliff and Maria Schneider
