Good Afternoon, I'm 2LT Velez from 307 AEB / 3 BCT, I'm currently AS3 for the BN, I'm reaching out because 307 has a Waal River Crossing on the 20th SEP 2022. Would you be able to support us with the reenactment for the event. Please let me know if this is something feasible. Thanks. Respectfully, Velezperez, Brian 2LT, EN, S3 HHC CO, 307th AEB, 3BCT 82nd ABN DIV C: (787) 221-8757 |

Would encourage as many of you as possible to attend this if possible. It is a great event! Kicking off at 0630 may mean most of you will stay over night.
Regretfully, I am already committed to the whole 5 days at All American Week. My personal Commander will not approve more time away.
