This spring Chuck Fowler and
Dan Withers were having coffee discussing the recent new history
discovered about the CG-83366 and the light bulb went off in
Chucks head. How about a living heritage D-Day celebration that
encompasses all of the resources that we can round up with the "anchor
tenant" being the 83366
that had actually been at D-Day. Before long a plan was put
together that
looked a lot like this.
Follow the results of the
effort of those that participated below. |
