45th Reunion Slideshow

Dear ’81 Classmates!

We are putting together a slideshow for one of our 45th Reunion parties, and we need your help!

We’re looking for photos from our cadet days, past reunions, and gatherings over the years. Company photos, candid shots, and pictures of old friends are all welcome — the more memories, the better!

Please email your digital photos to cid81reunion@gmail.com. If you have printed pictures, a scan or clear photo of the original works, too. Please include the names of those pictured and the approximate year, if you know them.

We’ll do our best to include as many photos as possible, though we may not be able to use every picture submitted. We appreciate everyone sharing their memories!

Thank you for helping us bring these memories together. We look forward to seeing everyone in November!

August 4th, 2026

Dear Classmate: 

We are excited to share the details of our 45th Reunion! Your Reunion Committee has been working hard planning the specific events for this fun, memorable and exciting weekend.

We have developed two information sources:

Website: http://citadel81.com                       Facebook Page: Class of 1981 Reunion

Both will be updated frequently as new information becomes available, so please visit often.

As was done at our 40th reunion, registration and payments will be handled entirely online at https://citadelalumni.org/1981reunion/Unlike in 2021, The Citadel Alumni Association will collect a fee of 3% of total costs at the time of purchase.

In addition to the traditional SWAG memorabilia included in your Registration costs, you may also purchase additional SWAG memorabilia during the initial registration process. Additionally, we are providing a separate online link to order Class Golf Shirts. At this link you will be able to select the shirt color and style, select your size, pay for it and it will be shipped directly to your address.

Please complete your registration online by September 4, 2026. Although the Registration price will not change, after this date there is no guarantee that you will receive all of the Class Memorabilia. reunion Events are listed under Schedule of Events on the website.

FINAL THOUGHTS

We are often asked “What can I do to help?” There are two simple ways:

1) We want as many of our classmates as possible to attend, so please spread the word to your classmates. After this reunion, only our 50th Reunion will remain, making this an especially meaningful opportunity to gather together.

2) PLEASE register NOW and encourage others to register ASAP. We understand plans can change, but we are flexible and are always willing to provide refunds should something come up. Nothing makes our jobs harder than Late Registration.

Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to email us at cid81reunion@gmail.com or feel free to contact any member of the Class of 1981 Reunion Committee.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Charleston in November!
