WWII battle reenactment. Sep 22-23

PMR100's Photo PMR100 Sep 03 2012

For those who live in Illinois or near by there will be WWII battle reenactment at Midway Village in Rockford IL, on September  22 - 23.  I went there 2 years ago and it was fun.  You can walk around trenches and enforcemnets with soldiers eating and having fun.  The main battle takes place once or twice a day and it last about 1 hour.  Last time i went there they had some tanks and armoured cars (Sherman, Hetzer, Stewart).  It looks like a real battle.  I recommend you guys check it out.

I corrected the dates cause i mixed them up for some reason.

I live in Indiana, a town called Vincennes. We are also having a "Military Day" on the 8th and 9th, of which we are also celebreating the opening of our new Military Museum location, sadly though we don't have re-enactiments like other larger museums do.


One of my lifes dream is to be in a WWII re-enactment. Maybe when I'm done with my 3 year military service I can use the money to be in one.
