The hotel reservation phone number is 1-800-325-9595. Mention the 6924th to get the $85 nightly rate. Time is getting short so make your reservations today!Reunion Raffle prizes are piling up and tickets are going like hotcakes. Donate a prize if you can and buy a few tickets to help support the Association’s Paul Wayne Anthony ROTC Scholarship and other activities. There are some great prizes donated already by generous Tigers. No prize is too small or too big so if you can please donate a prize and also buy as many raffle tickets as you can afford. Thanks!6924th Battle Flag: our President Fred Sepelak (67-68) recently posted That to the web site. The 6924th Battle Flag (it's really a quilt made by Jer from Texas) was given to Steve Manzer to take home to Boston at the conclusion of last years New Orleans reunion. He has assured me that it has been guarded well with many additions which will be on display in Colorado Springs. The Battle Flag is adorned with numerous military patches, pins, photos, etc. All members attending the reunions are requested to sign the Battle Flag which in time will be retired in a yet to be named place and manner. The MAN upstairs will dictate who will be the last of us standing to carry out this honor. Tradition has it that the "passing of the flag" take place at the reunion business meeting. It is Steve's responsibility to pass the flag for safe keeping to a member who has at least a tentative plan to attend the 2007 reunion. If any of you have a photo, patch, pin or other memorabilia item which you would like to have put on the flag, please forward it to Steve ASAP.....Address: 30 Thicket St. Weymouth, MA 02190Phone: 781-335-0304 E Mail manzer@massed.netMark your calendar for the 24th of each month. That is when you should receive the latest edition of Tele Tiger, The official newsletter for the 6924th Heritage Association.

There will be a mini reunion for those that are able to attend. More details are available on the web site or contact Gil. The theme for this year’s parade is “History of Military Flight from past to present.” So this should be a great show for those interested in flying and the machines that make it possible. The Parade Committee is encouraging participants to depict historic aircraft, or dress in Historic Flight Gear. Our Tiger Buds will be flyin high so join the fun if you can. Gil and his wife Linda will be there and are staying at the Holiday Inn Express North.
