The 26th annual World War II Weekend was held again at the Jefferson Barracks Historic Park, from April 15-17. Attendees experienced a wide range of weather, from cold and wet on Saturday, to sunny and warm on Sunday. Due to the weather, crowds were down from last year, but the Gateway Chapter booth got plenty of visitors, located between the battlefield and the parking lot, as we were. We sold a number of copies of Victory Through Valor as well all of our immediate supply of the Everyday Heroes DVDs.
Thanks again to Dave Lavely of the 2nd Rangers Infantry Battalion for plugging the book and our booth to the crowd throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. Kudos also to the Gateway Chapter members who took the time to come out and talk to all the people who came by the booth during the event.
