Those who served on USS Anchorage (LSD 36) are getting together to commemorate this ‘most decorated’ ship. We are seeking your financial support to help defray the cost of our 2026 reunion . With airfare soaring, just attending the reunion can be a financial hurdle for many. Money raised will be used for local transportation, one of our biggest expenses, and if enough money is raised, we will be able to lower the cost for group events and meals. Your donation will ease the burden of reunion costs and bring our shipmates together. Help make this reunion a reality for as many crewmates as possible! Please donate today and share this campaign with your family and friends.
To maximize our fundraising efforts, we not only rely on direct donations but also partner with businesses that offer user-friendly fundraising programs. In the past, we've successfully participated in Panda Express's nationwide virtual campaign, which donates 28% of sales, and have found a strong local supporter in TapRoom Bar & Grill, contributing 20% of sales. These initiatives, combined with our FundRazr page, have helped us raise $2,305.40 in 2022 and $2,732.21 in 2024, moving us closer to our $5,000.00 goal.
Please note: If a donation is made using PayPal, please do not select for 'Goods or Services'. We receive less money when that is selected. Thank you.

“Can’t really make the letters big enough: BRAVO ZULU to properly reflect the herculean efforts you put forth to make 2024 a fun and memorable reunion.” LTJG Chuck Johnson (7/72-5/75)

"Thoroughly enjoyed my first LSD-36 reunion in 2022. The Bay Club was an excellent choice for a host hotel for the reunion. Accommodations and location were perfect for such an event. Even ran into the reunion coordinator the night before the first official event and shared a couple at the hotel bar! The 'Welcome' social hour, 'Main Event' dinner and 'Group Breakfast' were great times to rekindle old relationships. A highlight for me was the tour of the same-named US Navy replacement ship. All-in-all, a great time!" Plank Owner LTJG G. Mellen (8/68-6/71)

“My wife and I had a great time at the USS Anchorage 2022 reunion. Seeing shipmates that i have not seen in almost 50 years was definitely worth the trip. The venue and activities were excellently planned- what fun! I hope more of my friends will attend the 2024 reunion - they won’t regret it.” QM3 A. Bescan (5/73-12/76)
