Preserving the Legacy of The Spearhead.

Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome

At the 2025 Business meeting in Indianapolis, no one volunteered to host a 2026 annual reunion. It was voted by membership, however, to remain an active Association, with “reunions on demand,” and also simplify setting up and holding the reunions, with no excursions or buses to manage. The emphasis will be on visiting, renewing friendships, and camaraderie.  A renewed effort will be made to bring in new members and donations.

Hopefully the Fifth Marine Division Association can soon meet again.  Any member can volunteer to be the 2026 host by contacting President Skip Werthmuller at usnskip1@aol.comor Secretary Valerie Leman at valjuneleman@icloud.com
