6922nd SW Kuya Reunion 2023
Mobile, Alabama
April 12-16, 2023
The 6922nd SW Kuya Reunion 2023 in Mobile, Alabama was a success. The city of Mobile and the reunion venue at the Holiday Inn Mobile Downtown/Historic District could not have been any more welcoming and the interior was beautiful. The Holiday Inn was within walking distance to bars and restaurants and many interesting sites. The Holiday Inn rooms were very large and the hotel provided us with a large hospitality suite on the 17th floor overlooking the city and port.
Attendance was small but everyone enjoyed the company as we ventured out each evening for dinner for a short walk to bars and restaurants. Mobile was the first city in the U.S. to have a Mardi Gras parade and now the 2nd largest behind New Orleans. There are beads hanging from the trees on Dauphine Street where we ran Town and had dinner.

Friday Night BBQ At The VFW
We were welcomed to the VFW Post 49 for our BBQ night. There were a lot of veterans that shared their facility with us and provided the food and a round of drinks. Thanks to the Chapter President and former Army Security Agency Hostess for arranging a fun time.
