We are just beginning to write the history of our organization. Squadrons & Shipmates of the FDR/Midway, Inc. was established on July 1, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. These two ships were built as our nation was in the middle of World War II. We only found it fitting to launch our web site on the 70th Anniversary of the start of World War II, September 1, 2009. We saw a need for a unique organization based on two principles.

        1. The longest commissioned aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy had no reunion organization for the entire ship.

        2. Squadrons assigned to these ships and other aircraft carriers had to have their own reunions because all the members of any one squadron could not become members of an aircraft carrier reunion unless they served on that ship. It is our belief this is totally unfair to the squadron members.

               This page will also list all the cities where reunions have been held and the number of attendees. We will also list the names of all the past officers of the corporation. The following is an indication of what is in mind for this page.
