I'm staying at the Quality Inn Navy Base. So here's a stupid question. I can stay at that hotel right? I mean I don't think they would of booked me there if I needed to have a military ID to stay there. Just need to make sure cause I'm driving all the way from New York the day before and I hate to have any problems.
My son's dad is going to try an make it to the homecoming, but he doesn't seem to have any information. I know when and that he'll need to be on the list to enter, but can someone PM me with any other info he might need (if it can't be posted here)? I'm unable to go, so hopefully my Ex can. Thanks for any help.
I printed the emblem, it's great. Now like Jacob94mom said I will make it sturdy to wear. I am staying at the Quality Inn off base. My flight comes in the day before in the early evening so I will have to find some one to give me info since she did not put me on the list and I can't get any info. So I will play it by ear when I arrive. Thanks for the emblem. One day closer :)
Hi Ladies,
I just Googled Harry S Truman homecoming images. It gives you a good idea of what people wear and has photography images where you can find a local photographer for those who are interested. I really hope I can make it. Feeling excited.
I'm waiting for info on the meet and greet thing the night before, but those of us arriving early can meet somewhere too! Maybe a park or lobby at one of the hotels? I'm staying on the beach at VA Beach..but I know very little about the area so if anyone has any ideas please share. So excited!
The ones that don't have a packet, check out the FRG facebook page. It has the 2014 homecoming info. It is helpful for general info. My son finally signed me up for the newsletter but I haven't gotten confirmation yet. I hope it comes soon. I am driving from Florida. I will be there a day earlier also. Someone said something about a homecoming party/info meeting the night before. Is this true?
