Send Us Your Military Tributes for the TCU/IAM’s 37th Regular Convention
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
The 37th Regular Convention of the Transportation Communications Union/IAM will start on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, with the Carmen Division Convention taking place the day before, on Monday, August 3rd. The Convention will be held at the Caesars Palace Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. The Official Call was issued early in January 2026.
In keeping with our past traditions, at our 2026 Convention, we plan to pay tribute to those among us who are - or have been recently - in the military. This includes members, their spouses, children, and grandchildren who are currently in military service or served between 2022 and 2025.
I am calling upon all TCU/IAM members to send in information about themselves and/or family members who have served our great nation. I request that you, as Local Lodge Officers, relay this call to your membership or facilitate the collection of the information to be submitted.
These brave men and women deserve our highest respect, admiration and gratitude. They should know how proud we are of their courage. Please help us tell the world about the special people among us and let them know they are a part of a TCU/IAM family that cares about each of them, thanks them, and honors them.
Please provide:
The individual’s name
His/her rank and section of the military (Army, Navy, Air Force, etc.)
The place where he/she is or was assigned to duty
The relationship of the person in the military to the TCU/IAM member and
their local Lodge numberA high-resolution digital photo, if possible. (Preferably in uniform.)
Please send the above information no later than May 15, 2026 to:
