Special Operations Association Reunion (SOAR) XLIV

26Mar2020

 At Special Operations Association Reunion (SOAR) XLIV, we plan to honor all those who would have been eligible to join the Special Operations Association had they returned home. That is, all those from our eligible units who remain missing and unaccounted-for or killed in action/body not recovered. We have identified 139 individuals in those categories.

On Wednesday morning, 21 October 2020, we plan to hold a Memorial Breakfast for our brothers who remain unreturned veterans.
