Our 2011 Reunion

See more photos here!

Conducted in Las Vegas mid-July 2011, the first reunion of the National Pathfinder Association (NPA) was second to none. Some of the warriors attending referred to this historical gathering as their "First IN" Reunion. Active duty and retired US Army Pathfinders from various military units came together to celebrate the year 2011 as "The Year of the Pathfinder" and the birth of a national organization dedicated to preserving the legacy of all Pathfinders, past, present and future. Many attendees brought their family members to join in the comradeship and listen closely to the Pathfinder history presented at the two evening events hosted by Dick Gillem, 11th PF Co, 1st CAV DIV and Robert Fogarty, 101st ABN DIV. Final revisions to the Association's constitution and bi-laws were voted on and approved and a Board of Governors and slate of NPA Officers were elected to lead the way during their 2011-2013 term of office. A complete listing of the NPA Board of Governors and Officers can be found on the Leadership tab of this Association website. The leadership is already leaning forward in the saddle and planning the next National Pathfinder Association Reunion in Colonial Williamsburg, VA in October 2013.
More information soon.
