American Heroes Air Show Battle Re enactments
It was a full weekend of American Heroes and a little rain on Saturday didn’t deter the enthusiastic local re-enactors who staged mock maneuvers from many well-known military campaigns. Complete with era accurate uniforms, vehicles and weapons, these folks showed the guests what American Heroes … and enemies looked like 60 years ago.
