I would like to thank all the people who contacted me over the past couple weeks indicating their interest in attending the 2009 Reunion.  Based on this response the Reunion Committee is proceeding with plans for the 2009 Horne Reunion Cruise. In other words... THERE WILL BE A 2009 REUNION!

3: HELP SPREAD THE WORD

Many of you are members of various military organizations or subscribe to one or more military publications, newsletters, websites etc. Such organizations and publications generally have an "Upcoming Reunions" section. Please feel free to notify these organizations and publications about our reunion. Many former Horne crew have not yet found USSHorne.net and the only way they're going to hear about the reunion is through the various "Upcoming Reunions" lists. The more people who know about our reunion the better. Please feel free to submit the following information:
