2009 71st Transportation Battalion Vietnam Veterans Reunion

71st Transportation Battalion 2009 Reunion
June 24 - June 28, 2009
Nashville, Tennessee

This year we held our reunion at the HOLIDAY INN OPRYLAND/AIRPORT.

Karen Morrissey - Larry Stephenson - Sarah Vrabcak

First, I would like to thank the folks in the photo above.    On the left is Karen Morrissey, Group Travel Manager from Anchor Trailways & Tours.   Karen was responsible for setting up all of our tours and transportation to
our events. I'm sure you will all agree she did an outstanding job.   We highly recommend her to other groups.    Center in the photo is Larry Stephenson, Group Sales Manager, Holiday Inn Opryland/Airport.    Larry
specializes in military reunions and works closely with the RFN (Reunion Friendly Network Inc.). Needless to say, Larry went out of his way to make our reunion a successful and memorable event. If your group is
going to have a reunion in Nashville, you really need to talk with Larry.   Last, but definitely not least, is Sarah Vrabcak, Catering Sales Manager, Holiday Inn Opryland/Airport.   Sarah set up and coordinated
our Saturday evening banquet and Sunday morning private breakfast buffet.    The food was great, everything was on time and well run.   Great job Sarah! I would also like to thank Julie Rose, Office Coordinator,
Holiday Inn Opryland/Airport. I initially worked with Julie until she went on maternity leave. Once again, we want to thank everyone at the Holiday Inn Opryland/Airport for making our reunion a very special event that we
will long remember.
