Dear Fellow D Troopers

The 2025 D Troop Reunion will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn Reagan National Airport, Arlington, VA on March 25,26,27, 2025(departing Friday 28).  The agenda is set out below.

The special group rates we have negotiated require a three night minimum reservation. The Hotel Group booking instructions previously sent out are attached. The hotel reservations are made directly to the hotel by you with reference to the instructions and booking code.

As in previous reunions, we have had to establish a registration fee to cover the planned expenses of the reunion to include our catered Honor Dinner, chartered bus, wreath and flowers honoring those we lost, and other hospitality items.  The cost this year will be $150 per person.

Our budget and planned costs reflect our guess on how many of you will be attending, so please register soon so we can make any necessary adjustments.  Our goal for this and past reunions has been to attain maximum Trooper participation so please help by contacting friends and encouraging them to join us.  Also, if you would like to financially assist a trooper in need, please contact Chuck Abbott.

We are committed to accommodate those with disabilities. Please identify any disability/ physical limitations on the registration form and we will contact you to ensure that we are prepared to help.

To register, please print and complete the attached registration form and forward it along with  a check to Chuck Abbott.  If you prefer, Chuck can also take Venmo or Paypal and an email registration at 775-315-7574 or redbaron28@aol.com .

So, Please join us in DC by completing the attached form, mailing it to Chuck and making your hotel reservation ASAP. Our planning for the bus trip and dinner are very much dependent on the number that are attending so early registration is a big help.
