Policy for Back DuesThe following policy was implemented effective 1 June 2001 due to rising printing and postal costs.Any member in arrears on dues or one (1) year will be sent the Association Directory each year, and information on the reunion only, until back dues are paid. Once reinstated, current issues of all newsletters will be forwarded. Any member in arrears for two (2) years will be sent the Association Directory once each year only, until back dues are paid. Once reinstated, current issues of all newsletters will be forwarded. Any member in arrears for three (3) years or more will be moved to our Inactive Roster and will receive a short letter at the beginning of each year with an application to rejoin the Association. Those on Inactive Roster will receive no information on the Reunion nor any updated Directory until all back dues have been satisfactorily paid to the Secretary/Treasurer. |

Association MissionOur mission is to publish a newsletter and to maintain an internet homepage.The Association will use these publications to inform its general membership about events within the Association and about current or proposed legislation that might affect veterans of all wars. Members of the Association will strive to preserve the memory of those who served in the "ICHIBAN" Battalion and to publish only the facts concerning any particular battle, person or situation. This website is also intended to give individuals who served in the Battalion a forum in which to be heard and a medium where they can communicate, make contact, and share the events in their lives with their fellow soldiers and their families. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Association ConstitutionThe Association has been classified by the IRS as a non-profit National Association. As such, we operate in accordance with a formal Constitution approved by our membership, which is posted at Constitution of the First Battalion, 50th Infantry Association, Inc. |
