Mid-Summer Float Plan

Shipmates,

Memorial Day has passed. It was a day to remember those who sacrificed their lives serving to defend our liberties and provide freedom to millions of people around the world. May we always be a grateful nation honoring them and remembering the loss to their families.

The 4th of July was just two weeks ago commemorating the 250th anniversary of our country's founding. An historic event that bears reverence and remembrance. Now, let's keep the Spirit of America and the Spirit of the U.S.S. Seattle going by attending the 16th Reunion in Philadelphia, PA on September 24 - 27, 2026.

Remember your days on tour duty. Always focused on work, ready for some shore time but always counting the days to return home. That's how I see things. I’m writing this on July 16th, which is just 69 days and a wake up to being together in Philadelphia. 

Don't delay!

We need your registration forms sent into AFR and your Hotel reservations made within the next 30 days!

For more info, go to our website Home Page and click on the 2026 Reunion Philadelphia and the dropdown will give the Registration Info, Hotel Reservation Info, Reunion Schedule and Guest Speaker info. Don't lollygag, join us for Muster and Arrival Registration starting at 4:00 pm on Thursday afternoon, September 24th as we make all preparations for getting underway.

See you in Philly!!!
