Warning Order – 2017 Light
Horse Air Cavalry Reunion!
Your hosts have pulled out all the stops to make sure that
this will be your most memorable reunion EVER!!
To make it extra special, our guest of honor will be none
other than Joe Galloway, the co-author & screenwriter
of “We Were Soldiers Once & Young!” Joe is a
spellbinding speaker so be sure to bring lots of Kleenex.
Later this year we’ll send you additional information on
Galloway and the wonderful book he wrote with General Hal
Moore.
Your reunion hosts have decided to again contract with The
Holiday Inn & Suites – 930 North Atlantic Avenue,
Daytona Beach, FL32118 - www.daytonabeachholiday.com , and
there is no question that you should thoroughly enjoy
reuniting with your fellow veterans at this excellent
facility located right on Daytona Beach. It is
undergoing a major renovation which will be completed
prior to our arrival.
Notwithstanding the fact that prices inevitably go up, we
have been able to keep the rooms prices as low as possible
and please note that the room rates include transportation
to a nearby ballroom, for those of us that a short walk
will be too much, which will be able to accommodate the
big crowd we expect for our Anniversary dinner/speaker on
Friday evening, April 28. Ocean view rooms are now $125
while regular rooms are $115. Troopers who want an ocean
view room should reserve one ASAP.
For those of you who were not with us this year, we
recommend that you check-out the hotel’s website, see
above, to learn all about what this fine facility has to
offer you.
According to our longstanding tradition, there will still
be no upfront registration fee. You will be asked to
pay for our Friday group dinner and Saturday afternoon
surprise lunch when you’re with us and we will depend on
the “kitty” to cover the modest miscellaneous costs of
organizing the reunion.
You should be pleased to learn that we will again enjoy
the complimentary use of the hotel’s main meeting room for
Thursday, Friday & Saturday! Weather permitting;
we’ll schedule some of our activities to take place beside
their beautiful swimming pool.
The reunion will officially begin at noon on the 27th and
conclude on Sunday the 30th. For those of you who
would like to arrive sooner and/or depart later, our
negotiated room rates will be good from
4/25 to 5/2.
Details about the traditional golf tournament will be
detailed on the Troop Website and in future e-mails.
To make this event a huge success, it is very important
that each of you reach out to your fellow Dough Boys,
Spooks, Scavengers, Operations, Long Knives, Crusaders,
and War Wagons and put a burr under their “saddles” to
inspire them to join us next April for our 50th
anniversary!
Please let Rick Roll, rroll@comcast.net or Don Callison,
warwagon14@gmail.com know ASAP if you are planning to join
us so we can make sure we have enough rooms set aside for
our group. To reserve your room/rooms, please call a
member of the HI’s reservations staff at 386-255-5494 or

be charged until the actual reunion weekend. All rooms
will be allocated on a first come/first served basis and
