2026 National Reunion

Summer 2026 | Washington, DC

There’s nothing routine about this.
Every few years, we don’t just gather—we report in.

For one week, the 1st Battalion 9th Marines returns to formation. Marines and Corpsmen. Brothers and families. From the jungles of Vietnam to the streets of Ramadi. From Desert Storm to Helmand. Whether you carried the name or stood beside someone who did—you’re part of this.

In 2026, we’re coming back to D.C.

Details Coming Soon

Hilton Arlington National Landing – Early August 2026
Final dates and registration info to follow.

You’ve carried the name. Now carry it forward.
The Walking Dead lives—and we walk together.
