Anyone going to Ft. Bragg for the All American Week festivities?
I'm going down Sunday, May 19 and staying until Thursday, May 23. Planning to set up living history camp at the 82nd Airborne Div. Museum on post.
82nd Airborne Division Association's wedsite has the agenda for the events planned that week in addition to living history displays. |

Go to 82ndairborneassociation.org and click on EVENTS...go to All American Week 2019 and you will see the agenda for the week.
The mass jump and division review is Thursday, May 23 at Sicily Drop Zone.
I got a room at hotel, Moon Hall, which is on post close to the museum so guys that go can take showers. Hopefully Frank can contact the active duty 1/505 PIR and ask if we could also take showers at their HQ building and also get them involved with our living history set up.
Ralph and I are going down Sunday, May 19th with gear to set up at museum.
I registered with 82nd Association which includes hospitality room at Moon Hall, picnic at 82nd Airborne Assoc. Clubhouse on Tuesday and pig picking at Moon Hall on Wednesday. I'm checking to see if I can get our guys in to the picnic and pig picking and will let everyone know ASAP.

The mass tactical jump is great to see and getting to interact with the young paratroopers at the static displays was great last year, damn good kids.
I'm definitely going to try and make the mass drop. |

I am going to contact Major Stillfox on our participation. Would like to have all Pathfinders at the museum for display, CP with Command staff, Darrell doing medical with Lt. Torrence and Medic Johnson. What do you guys think?

Frank, does the museum know we're coming Sunday, 19th...will need enough room for all the tent fly's and probably at least the wall tents. I'll take all gear/trailer.

In what seemed like an episode from the Twilight Zone a 1/505th Pathfinder from WW II was spotted on Ft Bragg yesterday.
