This is the fourth part of my series documentation of my trip to "WWII Weekend" at Reading Regional Airport, PA in 2008.

This part demonstrates the gear soldiers carried in World War II between the allied and axis powers, with real experience accompaniment by "Red".

Part 1:

As I am passionate and appreciative of the incredible history surrounding World War II, and especially our veterans, I must also say the people that put this event together did a tremendous job.

These are the waning days that we have a chance to meet and thank guys in person like "Red", one of the original "Band of Brothers" that bravely invaded Fortress Europe on DDay.

Best viewed with a decent sound system!
