This reunion will be held in conjunction with the 75th Ranger Regiment Rendezvous and CHANGE OF COMMAND   The schedule of events and Regimental Activities will be updated as information becomes available to us and is confirmed.  We must understand that, to a certain extent, the participation/availability of the active duty is dependent on the "world situation" at the time of the reunion.  Please bookmark this page/check back here frequently between now and August.

We will soon be placing a form (and establishing a list), here on the website, for members who wish to "Ride Share" or perhaps split room expense.

THE 75TH RANGER REGIMENT, INC. BANQUET WILL BE HELD THE EVENING OF SATURDAY, 8 AUGUST, 2009.  SPEAKERS WILL BE RETIRED FEDERAL JUDGE EUGENE SULLIVAN and JANIS NARK, LTC.
