The commemorative t-shirt for our 2023 Reunion featuring our San Antonio Reunion logo was designed by Vanessa Clark (a former Army wife and freelance graphic designer who has lived in Okinawa and is now based in Texas).

Cost for t-shirts will be $25 and you will be able to order shirts as part of your registration process or separately through The Student Store link on the left of the home page. If you order the shirt for postal delivery after the reunion, be sure to "buy" the shipping fee option, which is also in The Student Store. There will only be a limited number of t-shirts for purchase at the reunion so pre-ordering your shirt prior to March 15th is recommended. We also have non-t-shirt reunion collectible options available on our CafePress Shop (plus youth and toddler size t-shirt options): ZAA 2023 San Antonio Reunion Collectibles : Zama Alumni Association (cafepress.com).
