REGISTRATION FORM (Print this page or check your D Company Reunion Newsletter)
Please Note: Do you plan to attend? Not looking for hard confirmation, but if you are anticipating coming, meals, rooms and events have to be confirmed in advance (and sometimes paid in advance) therefore, it can really penalize D company if we are not as accurate as possible. By answering this question you are under NO obligation to attend, we are just trying to get a better estimate for our logistics. If you plan on attending please email Randy at: Randolphbordner@sbcglobal.net

D COMPANY CHALLENGE COINS
During 2017 we designed and purchased the second 300 Challenge Coins with a new design for D Company. They went very fast at the reunion BUT we still have some left. If you didn’t get one go to our website, company store and get yours ASAP. We have passed the “break-even point” so purchases made are a donation to our Reunion Fund.
D COMPANY LICENSE PLATE This is a metal standard license plate size and fits on available brackets on your car. Can also be added to other displays or areas in your house, man cave.
DONATIONS
Donations allow D Company to stay in the black and do those extra things we expect: flowers for deceased members, wreath for Vietnam Wall reunion goodie bag, Shutterfly photo album, incorporation fees, postage and miscellaneous reunion and operation expenses.
D Company is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation and all donations are tax deductible. Donations may be sent to Larry Stovall at the above address. At the end of the year, you will receive a letter documenting your donation to D Company.
D COMPANY WEB SITE https://d-company1-6.org/home
This site includes whatever information we have for the unit and what you want on our site. History, KIA list with links to the Wall, 2500 pictures, video from Vietnam, reunion pictures and videos, reunion information and a company store which offers the items you have requested. Also included is the book Letters from Vietnam by the family of Gordon Wise.
One of the most exciting features on our website is an interactive Google map. Part of the map is a listing of firebases and the 700+ incidents that D Company was involved in. Each incident, in chronological order, will link you to the location of that incident on the google map.
Special thanks go to Dennis Ashe who has designed and set up a Web Site for D Company. Each year he maintains the site and makes updates of all the areas that change (and pays all the operating and registration costs).
FUNDING CONSTRAINTS
Your attendance at our reunions is our number one goal. If you are not able to come to the reunion due to funding constraints please contact our President, Gary Salpini, gary.salpini@gmail.com, and he will, in strictest confidence, provide financial assistance. Each year we hear from several of our attendees and supporters and offer to provide financial assistance so we can get more members to attend. This is what we are about, brothers helping brothers.
QUESTIONS? Give Gary a call or drop him an email; don’t hesitate for a second. If you are sitting on the fence on whether to come, email Gary and he will give you 60 names that went through the same doubt and they will tell you it is the greatest thing they have done.
We have heard almost every excuse why you can’t come. "I can’t deal with it, I can’t face the guys I was in Vietnam with. I don’t know how it will affect me. I have issues", etc. Please, please tell us and we will send you the names of 60+ guys and they will tell you how they felt the same way. If you have been telling your “war stories” all these years, sitting down with your brothers, will relieve burdens you have been carrying on your shoulders for so many years.
Come join us, we guarantee you will wish you had joined us sooner.
