The 1011th's Reunion Committee has added an additional event for this year's reunion. We encourage everyone that can, to attend.
At 2:00 pm on Saturday, September 28th, there will be a Wreath Laying Ceremony conducted at the All Veterans Park in Emporia. The ceremony will be very brief and informal. A wreath will be laid behind a ground plaque that lies along a walkway in the park. The plaque commemorates the 1011th's service in Vietnam, complete with the "Jayhawk" patch we wore. This plaque is also inscribed with Mike Hubert's and Sammy Kinnamon's names. It is a fitting tribute for us to pay on our special reunion weekend.
The park is located at the very south end of Commercial Street (Hwy 99) just before the highway crosses the bridge over the Cottonwood River. Look for the U.S. flags, a WWII Sherman tank and a "hovering" Huey helicopter that is also a Vietnam Vet! Emporia is the Home of Veterans Day and this park is a unique memorial dedicated solely to veterans. There are several other interesting displays besides the ones listed above.
We realize this is short notice but we hope to see you there.
