World War ll Update

If you have the chance this weekend GO! It was such a great time.  There were representatives from all branches of the armed services. Old and young. Female and male.  We saw reenactments.  There were people dressed in uniforms from different countries such as Germany, Russia, Canada, Great Britain...they had little villages. There were men and women in tents, showers made out of olive drab colored canvas with three gallon blister bags filled with cold water to soldiers to shower with. And  yes, there was a man taking a shower!

Airplane rides, Cargo planes, fighter planes, passenger planes...Tanks, jeeps, troop carriers. You could see how they would wash their dishes. There was a man from the infantry giving grenade throwing demonstrations. All of them willing to answer your questions and quick to give you plenty of information.  The American Flags waving all around you.

The music from the Andrew Sisters and the big sound of swing brought the dancers dressed from the 40's. I wanted to get up and learn the jitterbug, but watching and taking pictures was very cool.

My husband is a proud Veteran of The US ARMY, as is my dad, my brother and my nephew.
It's really a neat thing to see, to watch to try and put yourself in the era.

I suggest going in the early evening.
After 5:30 the tickets were only 10 bucks, during the day 22.00 
Its worth it. Every penny.

All weekend at Reading Airport. I loved it.
