Military reunion venue ideas are an integral part of any successful reunion.
Hotels and restaurants with the appropriate sized banquet rooms are often the first choice for most reunion planners as they have all the necessary services for groups planning reunions, including food options, AV equipment, tables and chairs, tablecloths and utensils, décor and other related amenities.
- Historic military sites such as Norfolk (largest naval installation in the world), San Antonio (Alamo), San Diego (large naval base), Washington DC (all war monuments, etc.)
- Locations that have choices for various family activities such as Branson, Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Nashville, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, Washington D.C. just to name a few that have military bases and facilities. Also, some generic locations as naval docks or yards, battleships, army depots, airport restaurants like The Encounter at LAX, legion halls, museums like the WASP Museum in Sweetwater, Texas honoring women who served in the airforce: http://waspmuseum.org/, or army campgrounds http://www.militarycampgrounds.us/
