Colorado Springs – October 9-13, 2022
The sixth annual Amphibious Ships Reunion was held from Sunday, October 9 through Thursday, October 13, 2022 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. All who served in the Amphibious Navy were invited to attend. Guests were welcome. You could attend on your own or as part of an organized reunion group. Eleven organized groups sent people to this year's reunion.
If your Amphibious reunion group is disbanding or thinking about it, we stand ready to be your new home. This has worked extremely well for over a dozen groups so far. For more information, talk to Skip Sander, in the Contacts section at the bottom of this page.
