Veterans share a bond that only a select few can understand. Military reunions are special occasions that fortify the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood that make our nation whole. Serving your country is a distinguished honor, and a joyful reunion with the men and women who stood by your side can be one of the most rewarding experiences of a lifetime. It is a unique opportunity to honor and remember all of those who served along each other to protect and defend our country's freedom.
Having a military reunion takes time, commitment, and planning. Whether you are planning an event for 25 or 500, the Beaumont Convention and Visitors Bureau offers a variety of free services to make your group's military reunion a success. Contact Tessa Myers to help plan your next event!
We know that planning a reunion takes up a lot of time and consideration. That is why the Beaumont CVB is here to help you! Utilize our services to make the planning process easier.

Kerwin Stone, President, VVA Ch 292
"During three out of the last fifteen years, our local chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America has had the pleasure of hosting meetings of the VVA Texas State Council, which consists of more than 35 chapters from all over the State of Texas. On each occasion, we have worked with and through the CVB in arranging meeting facilities and room blocks in one of Beaumont’s large hotels. CVB has assisted us with registration materials, such as name badges and welcome bags, and with other materials showing off attractions in our area. Each of those Council meetings has been a huge success, and we look forward to working with CVB again the next time we host a meeting. The CVB’s staff has been very caring and generous, and we appreciate their help!"
Mary Neal, Secretary for the ASR-ARS Association (Military Reunion)
“Rebecca, your assistance while in the Beaumont area was very rewarding. We liked Beaumont and you are in the top five of sales associates that we have met across the U.S. You listened to our needs and showed us the right places to take our groups that would give them a mini vacation in Beaumont at a reasonable price. You also showed us hotels that were large enough to accommodate our groups.”
