We have arranged for group room rates of $84.00 plus tax per night under the group called “101st Airborne Group” and you can make reservations at (417)-334-6464.

Make sure you mention the name and get the group rate. Make reservations by August 17th to get the block of rooms and rate. You don’t have to pay until you check in. We have no set agenda at this time but are always open to any ideas. There are a lot of good music shows, we have enjoyed several in the past. We will plan to visit our buddy Gary Stacey’s grave site on Tuesday morning as we have in the past. We are inviting those that we served with, their wives, family and friends. This will be a great chance to see friends from the 2009, 2011 and 2014 Reunions or those we have not seen for 47+ years. It will be a lot of fun! Currahee!
