Reunion 2008 - Charleston, South Carolina
Here is an item from the Reunion Planner.
It is now just about eight months til the next USS TRUXTUN REUNION!
Charleston is a great location, with so many things to see and do. We have
posted a description of several of the attractions on the reunion web site
and also a
survey so you can let us know which of them you would like to have
included in your reunion itinerary. We really would like to hear from more of
the Truxtun crewmembers before we make the final tour selections. Between June
and October we only got 15 surveys returned. I know there are a lot more of
you out that that are "internet savvy" enough to fill out an on line survey!
And even if you're not (i-savvy) it's not that hard. Just visit the web
site at and spend a few minutes learning about the
upcoming reunion and about Charleston. Read some of the crewmember
profiles! It's really fun to see what others have been up to. Right now
there are 14 pages of profiles. If yours is not there, you can fill one out
on line and we'll add it the next time we update the profile page. We look
forward to hearing from you soon!
This is your reunion. Let us know what you want to do!
Truxtun, DDG-103
We are trying to stay in contact with the pre-commissioning unit of the new
ship to be commissioned Truxtun to let you know of the progress towards
commissioning in 2009.
Truxtun Association Future
With the soon to arrive U.S.S. Truxtun - DDG-103 we will need to change the
logo currently being used by the Association. As fitting as it was for the
nuclear powered Truxtun a new logo is needed in order to reflect the arrival
of the newest Truxtun in the history of Thomas Truxtun and the ships honoring
him.
Therefore, we are asking that you begin thinking of a new design that can be
used for the Association. We hope to have all designs available on this site
and presented at the reunion so we can vote on the best design.
As soon as we learn of a ship's patch design that
has been adopted by the DDG-103, we will have it posted so you can consider it
in your attempts at a new design for the Association.
