The Wolfhound Pack
Hey Wolfhounds, it is that time again to start making your plans for our 34th Annual Reunion in Kansas City, Mo Aug 18 to Aug 23, 2025
We will be staying at the Embassy Suites. The Wolfhound room rate will be $135.00 per night plus tax (the government always gets their share). Parking is $6.00 per day. Room rates include breakfast for 2 per room night, managers reception each evening. They have provided a link on our website, www.wolfhoundpack.org, for your convenience. You must make your reservations before July 26, 2025 in order to guarantee the Wolfhound rate.
Our Hosts are Randy & Donna Hall. They have put a lot of time and effort to make this year’s reunion very enjoyable. The tours this year, ah…………… are not yet finalized; however, they will be terrific.
In March sometime, we will send the complete reunion registration to all members. This information will be on our website too. If everything goes according to plan, you will be able to register on line.
As always, we will have our buffet and auction on Friday, and we hope you will attend. Each year we have some “crazy” bidding. If you have something to auction, please bring it with you. The proceeds will go to Holy Family Home and some other charities. Make sure you attend the auction. Our Banquet will be on Saturday with a guest speaker and other awards.
We hope you can attend to visit with your Wolfhound Brothers and Sisters from all eras.

Once a Wolfhound – Always a Wolfhound
Wolfhound Memorial Bricks
Easy's Dream to Honor Fallen Wolfhounds to Become a Reality: Each 27th Infantry Regiment Wolfhound Killed In Vietnam While Serving in the Regiment Will Have a Memorial Brick Placed in the Memorial Brick Patio at Schofield Barracks from Easy Smith
Many of you know I have been working on a project raising funds to ensure that there would be a Memorial Brick for each Wolfhound killed in Vietnam and that it may not happen in my lifetime. Well, thanks to some generous benefactors who wish to remain anonymous there will be a brick placed for each of them in the Brick Patio at Schofield Barracks.
In other words, I am announcing that MY DREAM is about to become a reality to honor Wolfhounds killed in Vietnam while serving in the 27th Infantry Regiment.
I want to personally thank each and everyone who has supported me along the way on this project whether it be financial or any other kind of support.
Take care, Easy!!!!!

Make Your Voice Heard
We are building out our website, but we need your help. Our Wolfhound Reflections project (initiated by HSM Hugh O'Reilly, furthered by HSM Jerry McKinney and Easy Smith, and reproduced and published here with the help of Jacob Kelly) records experiences, thoughts, and contemplation by many Wolfhounds. But we need more. We need your stories and pictures. We will be adding a section for Reflections by family members and friends, so we need their help as well.
We are a Historical Society, and as such, our mission is to record and preserve the history of the Wolfhounds of all eras. Many of you have photos and documents which are important to our history. We urge you to share these items to help us record our legacy.
This is your organization, your history, your legacy. If you have ideas or suggestions, please make your voice heard.
And finally, if you are looking for Wolfhounds you served with, please don't give up. If you come into contact with or find a Wolfhound, let the rest of us know about it. Someone else may be looking for that person too. Remember, you may hold the key to helping another Wolfhound find a missing piece of his or her puzzle.
We value your feedback!
