July 19-21 Lest We Forget- Benton Harbor, MI

Lest We Forget. Annual event at KBEH, SW Michigan Regional Airport. Honoring Vietnam Nam veterans. Re-enactments, displays, camps, war birds, and lots of military vehicles.

If any 838-ers attend, please look for the 'a1 with 25th Inf Div marking and an M60 on an M4 mount. Should be easily spotted as at some point there will be a white-haired old guy fiddling under the hood and muttering before finally giving up and pushing it back across Taxiway Delta to hanger 22.

For that matter, you might also look for a red-bellied 7ec Champ that shares space with the 'a1 but is a whole lot more reliable.

I certainly hope the Champ is more reliable! Our own Dave Pizzaferatto is there with his boat I believe. I think I saw something about that in a Facebook notification.
