  • The annual USS Little Rock Association Reunion is a highlight for hundreds of USSLRA members each year.
  • Typically, reunions are held in Buffalo, New York every second year, and elsewhere throughout the USA on alternate years. The reunion draws members together from literally all over the world.
  • Shipmates, spouses, children, grandkids and "significant others" find this event has something for everyone.

NOTE....

The 2019 Reunion will be held at the Lexington Hotel and Conference Center in Jacksonville/Mayport, Florida, from September 25th to 29th. We expect to lay on some interesting touring trips and also a visit to USS Little Rock LCS 9 and interaction with her crew. Watch for future issues of our newsletter “LitComs” for updates. Detailed reunion information and registration forms will be mailed to all Association members next summer. Please contact Ray Cutter for questions.
