Reunions

The 2022 Reunion in Indianapolis has ended. A report on this reunion is now available on the 2022 Reunion page.

We hold annual reunions to exchange ideas, maintain friendships and try to spread the history of the United States involvement with the long and interesting history of the USAF Radar sites in Iceland. Here we can provide you a glimpse of the activities that take place at our reunions which have taken place starting in 2003.

One of the feature presentations of our Reunions starting in 2018 was the presentation of "Quilts of Valor" to those members of USRSI who have contributed many hours of effort to preserving and promoting the history of the USAF and its operations in Iceland. These quilts are hand made by a crew of volunteer quilters. Presented below is a brief review of some of those presentations. Note that 2020 reunion cancellation did require an "at home" presentation of the quilt.
