Pamplin Park, VJ Day, August 15-16.

At this point, this event is a firm and official GO!!

101 HQ will be registering to portray 11th Airborne Division and the Raid on Los Banos.  Impressions will include Division Reconnaissance Platoon (Provisional), B/511 PIR, Filipino guerrillas, civilian internees.  We will have a (large) camp and display set up to tell the story of the men - and women - of this amazing raid.  We will participate in individual uniform displays and weapons demos.  We will also stage a tactical fire and maneuver demo based on the initial assault on the camp.
We of course welcome any 505 personnel to join us for this event.  Uniforms will be HBTs and jump boots.  
Sound off if interested in joining us to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of VJ Day and honor the “Angels” of the 11th Airborne.

I'll bring my fly and set it up with high sides.  We'll have shade during the day but some might be sleeping under the stars.
