I have a tractor/trailer set up that would be perfect for this event but I dont have the 6 days travel time available. hope you have a good turn out.

I wish it was on a Saturday, I would be there in a heartbeat. I wanna know the reason my desk calendar doesn't show this day being special? I have all kinds of other days on here that mean absolutely nothing to me, I don't even know what they are...example Rosh Hashanah day???

example Rosh Hashanah day???

Jewish New Year

Thanks for the culture lesson my brother. Just googled it. Pow Mia day is a recognized day accross the nation right? I'm thinking it should be on my calendar is all...

update.. the local tv station is coming with local news papers. air force reserve will be bringing in a large grill and cooking up hamburgers and hot dogs. taps with the ringing of the pow/mia bell with the calling of the names of the local 24 still missing. 3 local veterans homes are busing in some that want to come. 2 tents set up for water and the cooking. local goverment officals are really helping out. the main man that is the driving force. james douglas that was in veitnam for 4 tours. special forces of the 101st airborne has been working hard since january. 21 gun salute along with a display duece and ammo trailer and maybe a m109 from goldneagle will make the day a great one. james wife is making up a flag colored blanket to raffle off. the proceeds are going in a general fund they have started that would go toward defraying the costs of the event. i will be taking some pics and posting them so those that are to far or working can see the event and be with us in spirit..
