The veterans of B Company, 2nd Battalion, 8th Brigade, 4th Infantry Division traveled from as far as California, Connecticut and Texas, with one Michigan resident, to Traverse City on Tuesday for a reunion they try to hold every year. Lynn O'Brien, director of district affairs for State Senator Mike Kowall of the 15th District, pinned each veteran before the group sat down to dinner.
