Military & Family Reunions

Whether you are planning a military unit or family reunion, the Reunion Checklist can serve as an outline for your event's success. The checklist, courtesy of the Radcliff/Fort Knox Convention & Tourism Commission, is geared towards meeting the needs of any reunion. However, you can tailor it to meet your particular needs.

Fort Knox unit visits offer veterans' organizations a chance to see the "New Army" from an Armor perspective while they remember the "Old Army" with their fellow comrades. A unit itinerary usually consists of a memorial ceremony, lunch at Kouma dining facility or the Fort Knox Leader's Club, and a visit to the Patton Museum.
