It’s time to make your reunion plans! This is Combat Control’s 60th anniversary. Come out and celebrate with our great American Patriots past and present. We will have a member that survived the Bataan Death March, two of the last American Airmen to leave Saigon during the evacuation and many of our modern day active-duty warriors. Make plans NOW to join us at the San Destin Hilton Resort in Destin, Fla., 16-20 October 2013. Room reservations can be made by calling 800-367-1271 or at http://www.sandestinbeachhilton.com/. Please advise the reservationist you are affiliated with the Combat Control Association or provide the code “CCA.” This is so you get the discounted rate and the CCA receives credit toward our group “block” of rooms.
