2020 15th AF Bomb Group Reunion

As of June 5, 2020, there are discussions with the vendors to postpone the 2020 reunion until 2021.  We suggest you do NOT register with either the hotel or the reunion itself until the matter is settled.

The Bomb Groups reunion is coming up in September. By now we have all heard much about Coronavirus and you may be concerned about registering to attend. However, with six months until the reunion, we are hopeful that this will pass and there are no plans to cancel the reunion. Should you register and find that you cannot attend, you can receive a full refund. In addition, your hotel reservation may be cancelled with no penalty up to 48 hours before your arrival date.

376 ARCHIVES

The website 376bg.org is NOT our site nor is it our endowment fund.

At the 2017 reunion, the board approved the donation of our archives to the Briscoe Center for American History, located on the University of Texas - Austin campus.

Also, the board approved a $5,000 donation to add to Ed Clendenin's $20,000 donation in the memory of his father. Together, these funds begin an endowment for the preservation of the 376 archives.

Donate directly to the 376 Endowment
