Overland Park, KS was the site of the Association's 26th reunion from August 24 to August 28, 2000..  The Doubletree Hotel at Corporate Woods was the venue site.

Interesting side attractions that were offered included tours of Kansas City and a steamboat ride.

Of special note are pages 5 and 6 of the agenda which, respectively, contain part of a keynote address with mention of Captain Robert Mathis's sacrifice on D-Day and a newspaper article entitled "Lest We Forget".  While the article's publication date was noted as 29 May 2000, the name of the newspaper was not recorded.
