The Fort Knox Area Chapter has been busy with the repair of the Vietnam Memorial Wall, laying of the wreaths at the Wall and the Fort Knox Cemetery Central. We had many volunteers to place more than 9,500 wreaths over the weekend of December 14, 2024. See attached photos

As you know, our chapter hosted the 76th reunion in Louisville again this year.  I am glad it went well. I was hoping to see more members visit our replica Vietnam Memorial Wall in Elizabethtown, KY, only about 25 came.  I realize it was a very hot day; however the members who showed up had a great experience and many said that from now on they will be coming to visit even during non-reunion times.  I look forward to our next reunion and hope for a good turnout.  See attached photos of the registration desk with our chapter members and a general photo of the social area. Thanks for another great year.

Robert W. Griffin, Vice President
