Our next reunion will be held at the Holiday Inn in Columbus, GA, October 8, 2015 thru October 11, 2015. Room rate is $89.00 per night with  free breakfast. Rate is good 3 days befor and 3 days after. The host for our reunion is John and Liz Bard and they are planning a few activities for us, so mark your calendars.

Brothers, just a note to let you know that Steve,(Sam), Sneed's father passed away Friday June 21, 2013. Steve's father had been ill for a few years and is now at peace. Steve asked that no flowers be sent but if you wish you can send a memorial contribution to the Blackcat association in Steve's name. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Steve and his family.

I enjoyed the reunion in Kansas City.   Nice seeing everyone.  See you all in Columbus GA.

Often, but especially on Memorial Days, I find myself thinking about my brother Captain Warren Weber, helicopter pilot, Black Cat 13,  call sign "Cat doctor 6"  I  want to thank you all for your service to our country.  I only wish we knew more about his time in Vietnam. He was so proud of his time as a pilot but developed PTSD when he came back to the states.   Warren passed away 7/3/1991

I own UH1-C  Alleycat BU#15078 and proudly display it in Apache Junction AZ I had a gentleman stop by today that served with the Blackcts 282nd. His name is Maurice Seghetti. A very nice man! I took  a picture of him next the chopper, thanked him for his service, and begged him when he had a chance to please return.

The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the  following
website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214s online:
http://vetrecs.archives.gov/

This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his DD-214
for employment purposes.  NPRC is working to make it easier for veterans
with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of documents  from their
military files.  Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former
military members may now use a new online military personnel records system
to request documents.  Other individuals with a need for documents  must
still complete the Standard Form 180, which can be downloaded from the
online web site.  Because the requester will be asked to supply all
information essential for NPRC to process the request, delays that normally
occur when NPRC has to ask veterans for additional information will be
minimized.  The new web-based application was designed to provide better
service on these requests by eliminating the records center's mailroom
processing time.

 Please pass this information on to former military personnel you may know
and their dependents.
