Battle of the Bulge 2013

Will Green and I headed down to Camp Clark, Missouri for everyone's favorite winter reenactment, the Battle of the Bulge!  We got down to the event site on Friday night, checked-in and then headed off to the traditionally meal before battle day... Subway.  The battle on Saturday was great with temperatures in the 50s.  We were pulling off layers all day long, so my giant puffy pockets filled with shirts and gloves and scarves made me look like a historical parade float.  Will and I dressed in our Class A uniforms for the Saturday night dinner where we received a lot of great compliments on our classiness.  We headed back to Omaha before sunrise on Sunday morning.  There are some great event pictures here.  I took about 65 photos, so narrowing it down was a little difficult.  I opted to show some in full color but to do some as black and whites as well.  My favorite photo is the second one from the end with the foreground soldier holding a cigarette and the soldiers chatting in the background.  Be sure to click on the photos to see them at a larger size.
