35th Infantry Regiment Association
Another reunion in the books. Thank you to everyone who made the trip to Nashville, September 3–6 — the fellowship, the check-ins, the laughs. However far you had to travel, it was worth it.
The Spartan 20 Fund is closed — thank you to everyone who gave. It went straight to getting Spartans to Nashville, and it worked.

A shift from our usual Labor Day weekend to early July — should make it easier for families to make the trip. Check back here as details firm up.
This isn't just an anniversary. Post-traumatic growth is often only possible in the company of those who have also been there and truly understand. For isolated infantry soldiers who haven't seen each other in years, a long weekend in the same rooms can do what years of distance cannot.
A core mission: personally check in with every Spartan and make sure they're right with the VA. Too many "did my four and got out" soldiers have zero VA relationship while struggling for years. Being in the same room, one by one, can be life-changing — our last brother went from 0% to 70% overnight, based almost literally on our collective exposure alone.
The real reason to push for attendance is simple: these are the people who understand. The moral injury, the survivor's guilt, the hypervigilance at Walmart — no one needs to explain it. That shared context is the foundation of growth.
