Hello Thundering Herd:
Our 2026 reunion in South Carolina is about one month away. Just a reminder that a few deadlines are approaching.
First, our reunion negotiated rate of $99 (plus tax) per night at Four Points Sheraton in Spartanburg, SC expires May 22, 2026. If you have not done so, please take a moment and reserve your room using the link below:
https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1764796574487&key=GRP&app=resvlink&_branch_match_id=1576760143875641696&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXTywo0MtNLCrKzC8p0UvOz9UvSi3OyczLtgdK2ALZZSCOWmaKraG5mYm5pZmpuYmJhbladmqlrXtQgFpdUWpaKlB3Xnp8UlF%2BeXFqka1zRlF%2BbioApaHfOmAAAAA%3D
To attend our annual reunion banquet on Saturday, June 20, 2026, the cost is $50 per person and is due by June 1, 2026. This event is held at our host hotel. Please take a moment to mail your check to: USS Cowpens Veterans Association, PO Box 312, Cowpens, SC 29330.
Our 2026 keynote speaker is Cowpens Town Mayor Jarred Spencer, who has been town mayor since 2024. He previously was a candidate for the South Carolina House of Representatives.
Finally, it is important that we get the names (and ages of children) attending the reunion. Coordinators for the annual “Adopt-a-Crew" event held at Cowpens Elementary Schools pair your family up with a similar family from Cowpens. This event is free, and if you leave hungry, it will be your own fault. Please provide that information to me via email to [email protected] by June 1, 2026l
For planning purposes, if you plan to attend the reunion, but have not made lodging reservations, please respond to this email with your intention to attend. Those who are only considering attending or definately not attending need not respond.
Look forward to seeing you in Cowpens.

Wanting to attend the USS Cowpens Veterans Association reunion in June but tight on funds? HM2 Craig Monka has rented an AIRBNB right in Cowpens, SC for the whole week of the event. He needs 4 people to split the costs at $250 per person.

Also, if you are on a tighter budget, there are a few families and former crew members in the area willing to host for free.
