The Board of Directors of the USS America Carrier Veterans Association are pleased to invite you to Reunion 2026 in Charleston, South Carolina. We have worked hard to keep this year’s reunion as affordable as possible while preserving the enjoyment and
camaraderie we’ve shared at past gatherings.
With the age of our membership and the rising costs of travel and activities in mind, we have streamlined our organized tours to two shorter excursions:
• Historical Charleston City Tour
This narrated ride‑along tour will highlight Charleston’s rich history and help you decide what you may want to explore on your own. The buses will stop at the Old City Market, giving everyone free time for lunch, shopping, and browsing.
• Patriots Point Tour & Memorial Service
This tour includes our annual memorial service and ample time to visit the USS Yorktown, USS Laffey, and the Medal of Honor
Museum. A box lunch is included.
As always, we will hold our Welcome Aboard gathering on Tuesday evening and our Banquet on Friday evening. Breakfast is included with your room and will be served buffet‑style just outside the hospitality room. Our General Meeting will take place Friday morning after breakfast, giving you the afternoon free before the banquet.
