Please mark your calendar now and invite your children, grandchildren, friends, and relatives to the 2009 Reunion of the 2nd Bombardment Group Association.  The reunion will be held in San Antonio, Texas which is affectionately referred to by Texans as the "Rivercity" because of the beautiful Riverwalk.  San Antonio is also proudly know as "Military City" because it is home to Randolph Air Force Base, Lackland Air Force Base, Kelly Field, Fort Sam Houston, Brook Army Medical Center, and Camp Bullis.  San Antonio, however, is probably best known around the world as the site of the Alamo which has come to symbolize hope, heroism, and sacrifice in the face of impossible odds for the cause of liberty.
