As many of you know I am a Park Ranger in Washington D.C. Thankfully it had allowed me to privilege to attend several commemorations and meet lots of WWII Vets. One thing I have noticed a lack in is living history. There have been a few people walking around in helmets and overcoats but nothing I would even call close to accurate. I would like to let everyone know that I'd really would like some of yall to come up here in uniform sometime. Plan a trip to see DC and spend one morning at the monument posing for pictures and meeting tons of wwii vets. Check out there calendar and check with me if yall ever decide to come up this way. www.wwiimemorialfriends.org/news/ |

Jay, Drew, Jon Price, John Baucom and I will be attending the 75th Anniversary at Anzio. We may get over to Monte Cassino as well.
Would love to get up to DC at some point this year to support Allen.
