How we are dealing with COVID-19 at this year’s reunion.

Posted on by

We take the safety of our attendees very seriously. This reunion was started out of our genuine devotion towards all of you.

COVID 19 is often spread by people who are not aware that they are infected making social situations and gatherings particularly problematic.

As the vaccine rolls out across the country, and becomes available to more and more demographic groups, we strongly encourage attendees to consider getting the vaccine prior to the reunion. As the reunion approaches consider keeping the date of March 15th as a target to receive the 1st dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. This will allow time for the 2nd dose, as well as time to build additional antibodies prior to the event. The Vaccine is considered safe, and has gone through all of the required clinical trials and the FDA approval process for emergency use authorization. Additionally many other medical groups have looked at the data and concur with the vaccine’s safety and efficacy. Thanks to the Trump Administration’s “Operation Warp Speed,” this process was simply expedited. For instance in almost 1.9 million doses given there were only 21 cases of severe allergic reactions and the vast majority of those were in people with a history of severe allergic reactions.

Again, COVID 19 can cause minimal or even no symptoms in many people, but for a small fraction of those infected it can cause critical illness or death. If you are infected without symptoms you run the risk of spreading it to people who could become ill. The best way to protect yourself is to avoid exposure to people and to stay away from social gatherings. If you feel you are at particular risk we encourage you to reconsider attending this year’s event. We will be back next year, and we want you there too!

These recommendations do not replace medical advice. If you have questions we encourage you to discuss attendance with your personal licensed medical provider, and avoid other sources of medical information that may or may not be trustworthy.

Finally we also encourage all attendees to follow all local Clark County Nevada health and safety guidelines at the time of the event.

MSgt John A. Chapman

Sergeant John A. Chapman has received the Medal of Honor posthumously for his actions on March 4, 2002, on Takur Ghar mountain in Afghanistan.  During a helicopter insertion, Sergeant Chapman’s aircraft came under heavy enemy fire and was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.  One teammate was ejected from the aircraft, and the crippled helicopter crash landed in the valley below.  Sergeant Chapman and the remaining joint special operations team members voluntarily returned to the snow-capped mountain, into the heart of a known enemy stronghold, in an attempt to rescue their stranded teammate.  Sergeant Chapman charged into enemy fire through harrowing conditions, seized an enemy bunker, and killed its enemy occupants.  He then moved from cover to engage a machine gun firing on his team from a second bunker.  While engaging this position, he was severely wounded by enemy gunfire.  Despite severe wounds, he continued to fight relentlessly, sustaining a violent engagement with multiple enemy personnel before paying the ultimate sacrifice.  Sergeant Chapman’s heroic actions, at the cost of his life, are credited with saving the lives of his teammates.
