CAMDEN BURIALS FRIDAY | Historic Camden

In the diagram near the bottom, on the right hand side of the diagram where it says "Caisson Camp" is where I had my MKT setup. I was there to feed the Caisson folks, the HMMWV drivers, and their support people. My kitchen help were Alex, Kim, and Ron and they did a great job. Chicken Bog and ChiliMac were on the menu - as usual, no leftovers (sorry Kenny). Will post some of my pics after I get some sleep.

Rest easy, Soldier(s).

We will patiently await your AAR (After Action Report).

And some more. I was cooking while the ceremony at the battlefield took place, so no pictures from there.

Good thing you are slowing down.

We got back to the compound around 1 pm Sunday, and I then had three round trips to my house (38 miles each) to bring home the excess food and other perishables, then prepare the house for my pickup of my puppy (a 100 pound Rottweiler) on Monday morning. He has wanted to play in the backyard most of the time he's been home. He won't let me stay on the computer but 15-20 minutes at a time.

Here is a picture of the supplies shelving in the Shop Van after loading the food and other dry goods. One of the refrigerators (former elementary school milk cooler) in the background.

Here are some links to the press coverage. The last article got one detail wrong, the HMMWV's were furnished by the Military Vehicle Collectors Of SC and driven by the members dressed in WWI period uniforms. First picture in post #4 of this thread shows the HMMWV's at our compound prior to movement.
