Multiple A.T. Mahan reunions at Homecoming 2007

Multiple A.T. Mahan reunions at Homecoming 2007

What? Homecoming 2007 hosted by OVERSEAS BRATS
When? August 2-5, 2007
Where? Hyatt Regency Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, TX.

I’ve signed-up, paid, and committed to attend Overseasbrats Homecoming 2007. It would be great to have a large A.T. Mahan presents so I invite all A.T. Mahan Alumni use the Overseasbrats Homecoming 2007 for their next reunion. Why?

Overseasbrats can accommodate a multiple-year A.T. Mahan reunion. Hospitality suites will be awarded for the larger groups according to Overseasbrats. Here's how it would work for us. Assign or volunteer a reunion committee for your group (i.e. early 90’s) and encourage your classmates to come. That's all you have to do. Overseasbrats already has done most of the planning.

A) We don't have to do anything with the hotel, handle money, etc.

B) You all don't have to work at registration or any of the activities unless you want to help.

C) You all don't have to plan the evening activities. All this is being taken care of.

D) A lot of our classmates live in Texas, so this will be very accessible for them.

E) For your classmates coming from out of state, they will be flying into a hub airport which means airfares will be reasonable.

F) The Hyatt Regency Dallas-Fort Worth offers courtesy shuttle service to and from the airport. This saves your classmates from having to rent a car.

G) The event would be held at an OVERSEAS BRATS Homecoming, the fourth event they have hosted of this size since 1999.

H) This is your reunion and every event is being taken care of to keep you and your friends and classmates together.

When you do decide to have your reunion at this event, know that: -They will be working with you to get people to come to your reunion;-As people register, you will know as soon as they do;-They will work hard to keep our different alumni groups together;-Those in our alumni group who are interested or planning or coming will be kept updated about their reunion and this special the event.

One of the goals the key staff (who are former Military Brats/Overseas Brats like you and me!) of this event and I have is to look out for your group so that everyone has a safe and fun time, and to do the work you would normally do at a reunion.

I) An incentive plan that will provide $$$s for snacks and goodies for your hospitality suite! The more people you can get to come to your reunion at Homecoming 2007, the more $$$s you'll receive from OVERSEAS BRATS to purchase goodies for your hospitality suite!

Americans walk out after Speech by Icelandic Member of Althingi

IcelandReview - Online

According to Fréttabladid, representatives of the United States walked out of a meeting of Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Parliamentary Assembly after Dagný Jónsdóttir, a member of Iceland's parliament, criticized how the US had notified Icelandic authorities that the American base in Keflavík would be closed.

Dagný especially noted the short notice with which the American base would be closed. (On March 15, US Deputy Secretary of State Nicholas Burns phoned then Icelandic Foreign minister Geir Haarde and informed him that the US government had decided to pull its fighter jets and helicopter rescue squadron out of Iceland before October. Previously talks had been conducted at the highest level between Iceland's Prime Minister and the President of the United States. Icelandic pundits said, “At least they did not end it by sending an SMS.”)

Both Dagný Jónsdóttir and Minister of Foreign Affairs Valgerdur Sverrisdóttir are members of the Progressive party. Dagný said in her speech that the United States' behavior was not in good taste, especially considering that Icelanders had been strong supporters and allies of the US over the years.

Dagný said that she had previously taken up the matter in a committee meeting but the US representatives had shown no reaction. “I pointed out the security situation in the North Atlantic after the US had left Iceland,” Dagný says in an interview with Fréttabladid. In the final meeting of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, Dagný raised the matter again, receiving reactions from the Russians, Canadians, British and Scandinavian representatives, but there was still no word from US representatives.

“I don’t know whether it was a coincidence but as soon as I finished my speech [the US representatives] walked out of the meeting room,” Dagný Jónsdóttir said.
