My fellow re-enactors just returned from a re-enactment in Viesville, Belgium this past weekend.
It was the anniversary of the towns liberation by the 2nd and 3rd Armored divisions. They both took different routes into different villages. On Saturday we convoyed on the path of the 2nd Armored and on Sunday we took the path of the 3rd Armored.
I got to ride in a Jeep for about 5 hours over the weekend. What was really awesome was being able to retrace the exact route they did 60+ years ago. Also as we drove through the villages the residents came out to wave and cheer us on.
It gave us a warm feeling inside especially when we would see some people that remembered the real liberation. To still see a smile as we drove by.
The attached picture is of our convoy. If you would like to see more I can post them.
