The 2010 Reunion will be at Fort Benning, GA
Squadron to Return to its Roots
for Reunion 2010
Fort Benning is, of course, where our proud unit began – where the 3rd Squadron, 17th Cavalry was formed and trained under the command of then-Lieutenant Colonel John B. Stockton, whose “Bullwhip 6” call sign gives our Association its name. Fort Benning is also where, after the successful accomplishment of Air Assault testing, the Army’s first Airmobile Division was formed and given the colors of the 1st Cavalry Division, and the 3-17 Cav became the celebrated First of the Ninth.
We look forward to a big turnout in 2010, and hope the good time we have there (and the lessons the Board learns there) will inspire us to venture even farther from Fort Rucker for Reunion 2012.
October 7 –10 2010
Tentative Schedule:
Thursday, October 7th:
Registration & Early Arrival Ice Breaker
Friday October 8th:
Registration, Fort Benning Tour and Infantry Museum Tour & Evening Informal Buffet
Saturday October 9th:
Gatherings, Ladies trip to Warm Springs, Golf, Business Meeting, and Evening Banquet
Sunday, October 10th: Memorial Service
Pictures of Reunion Locations:
Columbus Trade and Convention Center Banquet Hall
We Can , We Will!!!!!! Apache Red, OUT!
