Not sure if this interests anyone, but thought I would share the event...

June 5-7 in Reading, PA.

They have restored war planes tanks, jeeps and other vehicles, and weapons. (Allied and Axis) They have WWII paratroopers demonstrators jumping this year. But the best part is, is talking to and hearing the old vets stories.

The website is kind of lame and cheesy but gives more detail. It's really a great experience. For any military history buff

INCREDIBLE event. I have been there a few times for this, and it is just amazing.

Go if you can. Take the kids.

I went last year and was blown away by how big the event is... the website really just doesnt do the event justice on how great it is. I loved that you can actually ride in some of the planes, they have a shooting range, and ride on some of the old vehicles, and watch the reenactments!

I jumped into valley forge in 1989 It was for the 82nd (ABN) associations annual get together, my all time favorite jump BTW. The old paratroopers of WWII made me feel very very humble.
