| 2007 71st Transportation Battalion Vietnam Veterans Reunion June 14 - 17, 2007 The time has finally come to have our first reunion. I have contracted the Comfort Inn Central in Williamsburg, VA for our reunion. I have tried to keep the cost down as much as possible. I have blocked 40 rooms but if we need more, we can have them, providing you book your room early. You Can Make Your Reservation Now Comfort Inn Central 2007 Richmond Road, Williamsburg, Virginia 23185 757-220-3888 You need to call the hotel and tell them you're with the 71st Transportation Battalion Reunion. The room rate is $69.00 per night + Tax The hotel will honor the room rate before and after the reunion dates. The standard room has two double beds. There are also a few rooms with king beds. If you need a king bed, please book your room soon. The price will be the same as a double. Sorry all the king beds are taken. |

| If you have never been to this area, it would be a great idea to extend your stay before or after the reunion. 2007 is the 400th anniversary of the first permanent settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. It will be a great place to visit this year. Again, another reason to make your plans as soon as you can and book your room. |
