Recent Event Recaps

September 6-8 - Battle, Odessa NY

Only a few of us were present, but all in all it was a good fight. Sgt. Barclay got two Germans from the get-go, trying to sneak up from behind us. PFC Z. Titus ripped away on the .30 cal mg while Pvt. Walter took out an armored car with the bazooka. Pvt. Doyle sat in a hole by himself for a while, and Cpl. Gisi was constantly reminded by the higher-ups of how we could of used his jeep there.

Next Event

Feb. 21-23 - Old Bedford Village, Bedford PA

A first for the division, should be a lot of Germans there and that means plenty of trigger time.
