It was a major frustration for me to try to find some of my Dad's WW2 buddies while he was still alive. I asked him in the late 90s if he'd ever had a reunion with any of his buddies or if he'd like to. He said no and he'd love to. He said that just before we left NM in '67, a couple of guys were orgainizing one somewhat east of us, I believe, but then we moved to Wash. state so it didn't work out.

I did a lot of web searching and posted the details of his whereabouts, 24 ID, Philippines, war's end -- pretty simple -- on every bulletin board I could find. No response. I guess the Pentagon is not responsible for orgainizing class reunions but some centralization of records and contacts could help, I would think, to enable some of these aging vets to see each other again.
