Next Re-union

I have received a suggestion from one of our members re the location of our next re-union. Colin McMahon has recently returned from a trip to Vietnam and has suggested that a 2011 re-union might be held there. What do others think? All comments to twotransportplatoon@gmail.com

Thanks
