Did you see any soldier dressed in Vietnam conflict camo?

I will see if I run into another source.

But get real, this is a celebration of America's oldest institution.

No apologies. These men fought for America, right or wrong.

My grandfather, served in WW2. His duty was guarding the "Nazi war criminals" in Nuremberg.

When he came home, he told us Germany was on the right side of history.
.

What was his reasoning for saying that last statement you posted?

From the few articles I read, all periods will be represented.

I think this will end up being a grand old American parade.

Enjoy the history, admire the weapontry....and, oh, maybe riots....

During the riots, on May 1, 1992, King made a television appearance pleading for an end to the riots: I just want to say – you know – can we, can we all get along?

Sorry, careless with my language. He let it be known to me, in so many words, without saying, he was on the wrong side of WWII.

Told me he was relieved the war was about over when his ship reached Europe and was basically military police.

Grandpa gave me my first lesson in life....

Caught an article about contests, but they were closed to the public.

We may have to wait until the official Army promos are released.

My favorite US Army movie....



The true story of Pfc. Desmond T. Doss (Andrew Garfield), who won the Congressional Medal of Honor despite refusing to bear arms during WWII on religious grounds. Doss was drafted and ostracized by fellow soldiers for his pacifist stance but went on to earn respect and adoration for his bravery, selflessness and compassion after he risked his life -- without firing a shot -- to save 75 men in the Battle of Okinawa.
