2005 93rd BOMB GROUP REUNION
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
November 10,11,12,13,14, 2005

Thirty-three 93rd veterans, joined by 70 family members gathered for a great reunion. The veterans, riding on a double-decker bus, were in the lead of the Veterans Day parade in Balboa Park, then attended the dedication of the B-24 Memorial in the park on the 11th. A reception and dinner on the 11th honored our "Most Honorable Son", Ben Kuroki and viewed a documentary about Ben's achievements in WWII, for which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. The 13th featured a brunch cruise in San Diego harbor and banquet in the evening with a talk by Gen. (ret.) Robert Cardenas about his experiences as a test pilot. The hospitality room was crowded most of the time when other activities were not going on and there was a lot of good conversation and reminiscing.

Here are some photos of the reunion activities:
