India Company Reunion News………

Marines, Corpsman & Family of India Company,

As I sit here and write this note, I feel deep sorrow for how incredibility fast the last 60 years as gone by when we all served together in Vietnam. We fought many a battle together as brothers and we felt the pain of lost when one of our own fell in battle. 

Today are hearts are filled with memories of days gone by, of the good and the bad times we shared as brothers and of those who have gone on before us. Our ranks our thin now, but our bond forged in battle some 60 years ago is as strong as ever.

This year, 2026 will be our last formal reunion. It’s fitting that we say good bye this year which marks 60 years since Vietnam and 30 years since our first reunion. Unfortunately time and health has caught up to all of us.

Our last reunion will be in Quantico VA in May, simply for 2 main reasons. First it’s important for all of us to visit The Wall and to pay our respects one last time. And second, to visit the Museum of the Marine Corps to view our history as Marines and to look once more upon the bricks we laid on the winding path at the museum with the names of our 27 fallen brothers from Operation Hastings July 1966.

So if you read this and you have not received an email from me with the details for 2026 reunion, please send me a request at the below email address. 

On a closing note, the project to record our place in history during Operation Hastings, both the written book and a film documentary continue to move forward. Those of us who remain are hoping that these 2 efforts will be completed before we are called to Valhalla. 

At some point in the near future I will be closing this website down and will retire the contents. I want to thank everyone who has made this site possible because without your help this would not have happened. 

If you have something to add to our story, please reach out to me at ttfns@aol.com as we would like to interview you for this project, so we can take our rightful place in military and Marine Corps history.

That’s it for now. Be safe, be well and keep your powder dry!

For God, Country and Corps………….Semper Fi
