The Gathering 2011
Vietnam Era
Yesterday’s Heroes, Today’s Good Men

The 3rd bi-annual Gathering of the Lucky Red Lions, of HMM-363 Vietnam Era, 65/69, has been set for 19th, 20th, and 21st May 2011 at Pensacola Beach, Pensacola, Florida.

Our third Gathering will be held at the same hotel on the beach we were at in 2007 and 2009, the Days Inn. You may make your reservations at any time. Rates are now: inland facing room: $90.00 per day, ocean view room: $120.00 per day. You may contact them at (850) 934-3300. Make sure you let them know you are with The Lucky Red Lions HMM-363 for the discounted price. If you have a problem, please ask for Marta Ray, our hostess.

We only have eight (8) months lead time to put this together, so sign up and PLEASE get your donations into us ASAP so we can complete our planning. Make sure you include your spouse’s or guest’s name so we can make the proper name tag. Let’s make this Gathering as successful as our first two and have more fun. Please don’t miss this, your old friends and comrades are waiting to share their memories (and a lot of BS sea stories) with you. Our numbers, unfortunately, are getting smaller as time passes. SO GET HERE!!! We may not reach all hands with this, so call your friends and let them know.

The last Gathering’s raffle was truly successful. Once again, we will have a UH34D custom made model to give away and maybe some surprise items.

T-shirts and covers will be supplied by Mike “Tripper” Tripp. He will be sending out order forms in the near future.
