Ahoy Maties! The 2008 USS William V. Pratt Reunion (DLG-13) (DDG-44) is set for Thursday, Aug. 21 through Monday Aug. 25, at the Dulles Hyatt Hotel in Herndon, VA. The annual banquet dinner will be held Sunday night (vice our usual Saturday) as a cost savings that helps us get the outstanding rate of $95 per night. The going rate for this hotel at that time is $229 a night!

As in past reunions, the hospitality suite promises to be a lively gathering place with drinks, snacks, stories and other lies. With several shipmates, friends and families registered already, there is no time to waste!

If you have not attended one of our reunions, you have really missed out on the fellowship of your former shipmates and meeting other shipmates who served on one of the Navy’s finest destroyers. Once you make a Pratt reunion, you and your spouse (guest) will never miss another!
 
Our goal is to reunite friendships and develop new ones. We look forward to seeing you at our next reunion. All of you know how special our crew was and still is. We have a wonderful reunion planned for you and we are truly looking forward to seeing you all this year.
