ATF Roughout Service Shoe
Moleskin ! I always have some when I buy new boots. I am fortunate to own an original pair of rough outs in 12.5. They were made in the early 50s though which suprised me. -

Reenactment Videos....
I remember you guys at Big Bear back in the 80s. One of you guys told me a funny story about an amputee and some Dynamite. It seems you guys had a battle in the AZ. You set off some Dynamite and had an amputee dressed up as a GI. You guys acted as if the guy lost his leg and it got in the... -

Normandy 2009 and beyond
That Bridge looks awfully familiar ! I've been on it a couple of times. I was born in Nijmegen. I was just there in May. On way to the Bridge we went down a side street and ended up in a Red Light district. I did not that they had one there. Those are really cool pictures next year France. -

WWII Reenactment Pics
I remember my first battle, it was at Big Bear in the snow. I wore an original M-43 jacket repro M-42 Jump trousers and black Corcorans. I did not have all the correct equipment because I was still learning about unifroms. Up until a few years ago I was still learning about equipment. It is nice... -

Cool photo's, the Granada is similar to the Fox Theater here in Fullerton. Since you're a local you no doubt passed by it, its on Chapman I think. I had a boss who grew up in Fullerton who went there often. He remembers a lake where the overpass is. He went to Fullerton High and remembers... -

U-Boat Crewman Impressions
My friend at work last Halloween dressed as a U-boat crewman. He had ordered some Denim Battle Dress. It was the first time I heard Germans using captured clothing. I know they used captured M-1 Carbines. They even had a re-issued name for them that I forgot. -

Childhood Fears
Me it was always Aliens (Not illegal) not Zombies. When I was younger I saw an article in some tabloid about the different types of Aliens. They had drawings of like 5 I think. On a night hikes in Boy Scouts I had visions of them grabbing my legs. I would skirt any overhanging bushes on the...- DutchIndo

WWII Smoke Grenade / Flare Code
I think Orange is universal for help or "Good Guys". The rest were used Tactically. I read a story about Viet-Nam were a wise old Sgt had a captured flare gun. That night their perimeter was hit by VC. To signal another part of the assault the VC would fire flares. This was either to bring up... -

If you could meet one WWII KIA....
I would pick any of the 5-6 who died from my High School. They were just average Joes. I would like to ask them about growing up here where I live. What it was like here 60+ years ago their dreams of what they wanted to do. Who knows we could have been buddies. Maybe one day soon I will. -

Show us your Guns!
No not really probably the Wolf ammo. I'm used to cleaning Garands and Carbines so it was no big deal. The one I hated was the HK 91. It was an easy fieldstrip but getting to that recessed chamber. I owned 2 but never really liked them.- DutchIndo

Stan is a great guy so is his son Seth. I sold Stan my prized Inland Carbine years ago. The Carbine was all original flip sight and "I" cut stock. I also sold him my Wools and M-41. Ron Lane had that neat Museum in Anaheim by the freeway. You probably heard that story where Goerings pistol was... -
