Welcome to "INDY Reunion Association" Home Page.
We are an association of past Ships Crew, Marine Detachment and Air Group members
we have no contact with the ship.
Please do not ask us to locate a member of the crew.
You probably have better access then we do.
It's a brotherhood like no other and only those who serve, can
identify. You are
a member of the greatest fraternity the world has ever known.
USS Independence Legacy
"Time after time
Sailor's of the Independence
stood up for the freedom and stood down freedom's enemies.
In the Cuban Missile crisis, Indy was there.
When Iraq invaded Kuwait, you were the carrier on the scene.
You delivered our answer, up close and personal.
In peacetime and war this great ship and it's battle group
have been there as America's shield and America's sword".
President William J. Clinton
"Any man who may be asked in this century what he
did to make his life
