UPCOMING EVENTS
July 4, 2008
"Fourth of July Parade"
Downtown Cumming
Cumming, GA
We will be participating in the
annual parade in Cumming again this year. All Allied impressions are
welcome from all periods. Remember that there will be a lot of veterans
present. Since Phillip Dodd always registers KZ to participate in
this event, he will be the point of contact. If you have any questions
about the event, please contact Phillip. This will be a partial-day
event. The parade should not last more than a few hours in the morning.
I would like to encourage all that are able to attend.
August 29 & 30, 2008
"Merrill's Marauders
Reunion"
Atlanta, GA
We have been invited to set up a
living history display at the Merrill's Marauders Reunion that is being
held in Atlanta this year. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for
our organization, as it is not likely that the reunion will come back to
our area again. We have been asked to set up a variety of table
displays, uniforms, and equipment centered around the Merrill's
Marauders and the China, Burma, and India (C.B.I.) Theater of
Operations. All of the specific details regarding the exact location and
times that we will be needed are still being finalized. Please feel free
to visit the Merrill's Marauders Association website:
Merrill's Marauders.
More information will be posted as it becomes available...

"Operation Market
Garden Commemorative Event"
Little White House
State Historic Site
Warm Springs, GA
In September, we will be returning
to the Little White House to host the event commemorating the
anniversary of the largest airborne operation in history...Operation
Market Garden. This is an event that we began at the park, and the park
has asked us to host the event again. All Allied impressions circa
September 1944 are appropriate and will be welcomed at the event. We
will be setting up under the outdoor pavilion. For more information
about the park and the event schedule, please visit:
The Little White House
November 7-9, 2008
"Veterans' Day Weekend
Event"
Georgia Veterans' State Park
Cordele, GA
This is going to be a big event for
us this year. There is a lot of potential at this venue, and we need to
continue to work with the Georgia Veterans' State Park to make this
event bigger and better each year. The park only has activities
scheduled for Saturday, November 8, however, we are going to try an
encourage the park into expanding this event to include Sunday as well.
It is a lot of expense, set up, and travel for one day. We want to
ensure that we have a great turnout this year. We need to go ahead and
start promoting this event. If you have some ideas for this year's
event, please contact the Unit Coordinator. More information to come
later...
December 6, 2008
"Pearl Harbor
Commemorative Event"
Little White House
State Historic Site
Warm Springs, GA
We will be setting up a living
history display to commemorate the anniversary of the attack on Pearl
Harbor. All Allied impressions circa November 1941 to January 1942 will
be appropriate for the event. We will be setting up under the outdoor
pavilion. For more information about the park and the event schedule,
please visit:

If you have any events during this
period next year and would like our organization to consider attending,
please contact us with
event information. We require at least two months notice in order to
plan for an event. All events that we attend are chosen on a "first
come, first served" basis.
