The Friends of Distinction

LOGOS.png

1989

We are a proud organization of military retirees, veterans, and active duty men and women, both officer and enlisted, from all branches of service, founded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1989.  Our members, past and present, represent over 2,100 Years of service to our country.  We meet annually on Memorial Day weekend, for a Classic Reunion hosted in a different city each year, to toast and celebrate our country,  our dedicated service, sincere friendship, and our unique common bond.
