This looks like a good event. I will see if I can work things out around here and attend.

Gosh, I hope those old men will have had some warning....else they might all get the fright of their lives when random strangers start hugging them!!!

Members of 796th Antiaircraft Artillery Battalion plan to be there

Many of the men from my dad's unit live in the Pennsylvania area and told me last time I saw them in September that they will attend this.

I'm considering it.
Weather is the factor.

Incidentally, if you read Band of Brothers it mentions that Dick Winters lived up to his Dday pledge to live on a farm if he lived thru the war.
He did.
In Fort IndianTownGap.
which is where this reenactment is.
Its also mentioned in TheBigRedOne.
And AndyRooney did his basic training there which he wrote about in MyWar.

I've wanted to go to this for a while now, but we won't be there this year. Perhaps 2008!

Went last year, but as a vendor so I wasn't dressed for the occassion. There was much snow, but it sure was cold!

 

[MrBern]

Incidentally, for those who havent been, there should be about 9 buildings housing vendors & fleamarketers selling original & reproduction WWII 'stuff'.
or 'junk'

Not to mention its free to the public to watch the mock battle put on for the news crews.
