Vic Ray even brought a cool mock Japanese helmet that looked like it was made out of paper upon getting a hold of it, but you couldnt tell if it was real (or not) only till you held it , cause it was real light.

Russell and Otsume (or "Ots") were great. Ots really felt bad for doing the bayoneting scene...wonder if Donald got it on film cause Ots wasnt acting at all as he was crying

I forgot the name of the PS vet who was there Saturday "Dr. " Well he made a comment to me in private...thanking us for what we are or we were doing. He said to me in a manner like...without our living history he and his fellow soldiers would just be a memory. He is very proud of us. Also Sunday General Ortega was there too. A passerby commented on how well the sign was made "USAFFE.." and I said that the was made by a guy named Philip Garcia. Rudy kept downing those frothy cappachinos.

Sorry Philip I didnt bring a camera. Saturday I was with the 34th ID and Sunday I went as a Scout more members came down for Sunday, but no big crowds like Saturday Donald did alot of filming of us, which was alot of fun we even did some Common Wealth The Japanese guys Otsumi and Russell were in the filming and in one of the scenes that Joe wanted to do was a Japanes bayoneting a GI during a Death March scene and Otsumi broke down in tears...he felt really bad doing that scene.

Richard Gross from San Diego played "Dug Out Doug" on Saturday while Dennis Leslie came on Sunday According to Gross they agreed to alternate, since at one time there was both of them on the same events.

Hey Guys I didnt march during both opening ceremonies only because I arrived around 11am Sorry I didnt take any pictures. I was in full battle gear and happily on guard duty while the troops played in the field.
While they were gone I entertained the passersby most of the people were asking about the 1919A4 Browning and the Garand I was carrying. It was hot both days Gil Mislang couldn't make Sunday due to a leg injury (I hope he is okay)

Wow, Very interesting info. one of the guys in the photo (Close up with campaign hat with me in the background) was in the PMA. But he was discharged due to an injury he suffered during his time there. At the time of the filming I was afraid the patch I made (with felt) was the wrong size and possibly the wrong one to wear.
When I got home tonight I wanted to find out more about the two bayonets (Remington??) that I've had since I was a child. Philip I will bring one of them tomorrow I think they're for the P-14 British Enfield or P-17, but I dont have scabbards for them. I believe my parents got them at some militaria shop right by West Point in the 1960s. They are dated 1907 with a crown stamped on them, blade is about 17" inches.
