We are very grateful to our primary financial sponsor


First Energy 

for their generous donation to fly in our veterans for this reunion.



This reunion was a very special reunion.  It was:

The First Annual Joint Reunion of the 314th and 315th Infantry Associations of WWII

and

The 73rd Annual Reunion of the 314th Infantry Association of WWII

and

The 72nd Annual Reunion of the 315th Infantry Association of WWII

In addition to two WWII associations coming together for the first time,

The Descendants and Friends of the 314th A.E.F. of World War One

was represented.  It is believed that this is the only remaining active WWI association in the United States.  Other WWI organizations exist but do not meet annually as does the 314th of WWI.

The 2019 joint reunion was hosted by the 314th Infantry Assocation. 
The 2020 joint reunion will be hosted by the 315th Infantry Assocation.
