It was an honor and  a privledge to attend the Allied Victory Living History Day & The 63rd. Annual Reunion of the  WWII  314th. Infantry Regiment  of the 79th. Infantry Division at the Plaza Ocean Club Hotel, Daytona Beach, FL. on 25-26-27 Sept. 09 when invited to attend by its organizers.

I was more than just a day of living history and a reunion of the 314th. Infantry Regiment. The 90 foot Iraq Memorial Wall was there to honored the countrys fallen from that conflict.
