5th Battalion
60th Infantry Association reunion in St. Louis, MO June 15
- 18, 2006 at the St. Louis Airport Marriott Hotel.
The 5th Battalion reunion
is listed on this web site because if one will read the
History
page one will find out that our 1st/16th was swapped with the 5th/60th
in September 1968. Because of this, many of our members served
in both the 1st and the 9th Infantry Divisions. Those who were
in the 1st/16th were sent to the 5th/60th in Sept 68 and those in the
5th/60th were sent to the 1st/16th in Sept 68. The 5th
Battalion, 60th Infantry Regiment, 9th Infantry Division is,
therefore, our "sister" battalion. One should attend this
reunion and find out what life was like in the Delta for those who
were sent there from the 1st/16th in '68, and find out what the
5th/60th accomplished in and around Saigon during TET68 before being
sent to the 1st/16th. You will not regret attending this
reunion.
The First Infantry Division 2006 reunion will be held
at:
Phoenix, AZ at the Biltmore Resort & Spa
July 12-16, 2006
