The next reunion to will be held at
a date yet to be determined. Please check back for future information
and dates. In 2013, the tenth combined reunion of these two squadrons
was held. In 2003, the World War II veterans of both squadrons decided
that there were too few WW-II veterans remaining in each squadron to have
separate reunions and agreed to a combined reunion. With the assistance
of former members of the post-war VMF/VMA-124, these veterans (including
family members and widows) met in 2004 (San Diego, CA), 2005 (Washington
DC), 2006 (Nashville, TN), 2007 (Seattle, WA), 2008 (Memphis, TN), 2009
(Colorado Springs, CO), 2010 (Fredericksburg, VA), 2011 (Dallas, TX),
and 2012 (Memphis, TN). All former members of post-war VMF/VMA-124 are
invited to these reunions and are expected to render assistance to the
World War II veterans, if needed.
Request attendees bring memorabilia and photos (not a requirement) to
share with the other attendees.
