Thank you very much for your time in responding to this. Grandfather was 28th national guard in early 1900’s so I’m glad I picked this up to add to his grouping. Again THANK YOU

Wow, what an unforgettable experience! That must have been absolutely surreal — an unannounced rocket test shaking the ground like an earthquake and causing panic in town. And the parade story is priceless! Marching without knowing why, while the General’s speech gets drowned out by a rocket roar — that’s some real-life “only in the military” moment. Thanks so much for sharing this piece of history!

Wow, that must have been quite a sight—and sound! The Osprey’s unique tilt-rotor design definitely gives it a powerful presence. I can imagine those windows rattling—intimidating indeed! Thanks for sharing the memory and the great photo.

Ahhh Dang it!  Now I gotta pull everything out & re-shoot it! Thanks

Another Sea Bee's oval up on the 'bay right now. This is third that are currently up on there right now. The other two ovals are; Sea Bee's - Can Do, versions and are listed at the pricey points of $200 and $250 respectively.   

I'm planning on doing the 26th ID because they were a local division during WW2. I live in the New England area, and the 26th ID pulled recruits from the same area I live in now. The local 26th ID reenactment group to me is the one with a ton of controversial things associated with them, so I might go with an airborne unit or a smaller unit near me. (20-30 miles)

The Dutch! It was based in the Netherlands, and they really try hard to repossess all of these it seems. This one on the left is German made, so it's a bit tougher to find. The US made FIS is much more common, but still goes high too. The one without the crown from the FDS days can really get silly. The TFS one in the pic is fairly easy to find as well, but this one has Velcro which makes it better in the eyes of some collectors.   Randy
