Why does it seem like the majority of overweight reenactors increases every year? Take some pride in your impression guys

They're aging out.  Just one of many vicissitudes of getting old.

They're out there! Some of my friends (the kid-looking people) are in this video.

Cool pics, did they do any demonstrations or reenactments?

I'm not hte OP, but I was there, too.  There was an large blocked off section with a track in it, and they'd bring out the tanks and drive them around on it while an announcer described them.  I got video of an M41 Walker Bulldog, and there was an M113 just leaving as we got there.  They also did a demo of US cavalry tactics while we were there, and the schedule said there'd be a flamethrower demo later but we had to leave.

I totally missed the demos because my daughter was being whiney and wanted to leave.

Great pics OP...thanks for sharing.

The rifles and side arms look awesome. Some of those tanks are pretty incredible.

I see a couple of Arfcommers in the pics, too.

The UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS HISTORICAL COMPANY drove an amtrack and a Sherman tank (both were used in the movies Flags of our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima) and with a company of marines attacked a bunker.
The Sherman fired it's main gun and the M2 .50 cal.
A marine with a flamethrower finally burned it.

I'll post the video of it.

Drove past the event on the way to work... Assuming it was the event on Aden road..
Had I known ahead of time I would have called in well and attended.
Need some more lead time now that I know where...
Give us a heads-up for next year please!
