Biography
The Michigan Tech Veterans Club was formed in 1968 as a social group to allow veterans of the Vietnam war to come together, support one another and host social gatherings. The club has since expanded to invite university veterans from a broad range of United States military conflicts, although the core of the group is still from the era of the Vietnam War. The group hosts a reunion every three years as a way to reconnect and share stories. The most recent reunion took place at Runeburg Hall in Dollar Bay,
Michigan in the summer of 2014.
