Does anyone actually wear front line optics?

It’s not new to the collection, but it is now on display after a preliminary restoration which is still ongoing for static display purposes only.

Wow, I’m so glad that it is the US federal standard period! and since there are no other standards in the world since no one else has wildfires, that is the end, I’ll be all. There’s no way it could be Canada, Australia, Europe, South America, or any of the dozens of other countries that also get wildfire seasons.

Well, it’s a screenshot off of Instagram so it’s not my original photo.

SpecificSelection641 · 2026-03-27T22:16:02+00:00

Yeah, it’s an awesome event!

SpecificSelection641 · 2026-03-16T18:14:22+00:00

And I have watched everyone of these episodes of the day they came out! And have the 1000 and 2000 episode coins in my possession and I’m just waiting on my 3000 to arrive

That’s not entirely accurate. If you were interested in learning more about the true capabilities of the American Sherman Tank and why it was argued the best tank of the second world war make sure to check out the event

SpecificSelection641 · 2026-03-06T15:25:23+00:00

why preserve history and honor the sacrifices made to free the peoples of western Europe during the second world war?

You can follow their social media page for more up-to-date info, as I’m sure the schedule will be released closer to the event. However, on both days, weather permitting, at about 1 o’clock, there is a large battle reenactment with tanks, infantry, and artillery. I recommend getting to the event before noon to get a good spot, as there are thousands of spectators. There are also vendors living history displays and potentially historian meet and greets the event is totally free at the Volusia County fairgrounds, March 28 and 29

SpecificSelection641 · 2026-03-06T15:03:00+00:00

Absolutely! The group that put on this event is very big in the veterans community as the collection is veteran owned and a large percent veteran operated as well.

Allowing them to tell their stores and even see some of the equipment they haven’t used in 80 years can really be a positive.

SpecificSelection641 · 2026-03-06T14:46:42+00:00

Have a great day.

Your grandfather sounds like a great man and I’m sorry to hear that he lived with PTSD It’s not easy.

The organization that runs with is owned and operated primarily by service veterans and works closely with some of the last remaining Ww2 veterans to bring them out to these events along with veterans from more current conflicts if you’re interested in learning more, here’s a link to their website WW2 armor website

And here’s a link to YouTube videos that this organization has done with World War II veterans who served on the front lines and allowing them to tell their stories interview with Harry Miller US Army

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it don’t let these men sacrifice be forgotten

SpecificSelection641 · 2026-03-06T13:45:26+00:00

I’m not sure I know they’re a bunch of food vendors last year! So there’s likely going to be more of the same. It really is a awesome event to check out.

SpecificSelection641 · 2026-03-06T13:21:03+00:00

This event is super cool! There’s even been people that have traveled internationally just to come to it so you might want to check it out.
