Lets go to a parade...





Hey Everyone,

Hope you had a great memorial day weekend. I had to work unfortunatley, but In 7 years and 6 months and about 15 days. I can dictate my own schedule. HAHA

These photos were taken at one of the Memorial Day Parades held in Lancaster yesterday. We decided to attend one on a spur of the moment and we chose the Elizabethtown Parade.

The first photo is one of the rigs from the Elizabethtown Fire Department(7-4). It is their newest engine to the fleet.

The second photo is my little buddy waving his flags as the bands are going by.


Hope you have a great day!

Taking a well deserved break...




Hey Everyone,

Final post for this week. Here is a group of Solders taking a break waiting for the mess hall to open up for chow. Folks, If you ever get the chance to attend one of these type of events I strongly encourage it. It is well worth your time and you get to learn some things you may not have known or may have known and just forgot.

So with that said, Brad thanks again for telling me about the event. Hopefully I'll see you at the June event in Reading if I am off.


Have a great weekend!

Fury From The Sky....




Hey Everyone,

As the sign says, the town was liberated by the Red Devils. So I decided to google them and found a website that tells about the group and their history.

That is all for today, Here is the link to the site;

Mash 4077th...




Hey everyone,

Hope your week is going well. This is another photo from the Army Heritage Days. I was waiting to go into one of the barricks when I saw the sign down at the corner. It reminded me of the Mash 4077 tv show so I took the shot.


Have a great day!

I made it to one year...





Hey everyone,

Today is the one year anniversary of my blog. I can't believe I made it to one year already. It's been a fun year, I've gotten to meet some great photographers and firemen who I consider friends(Brad, Rich, Brian) Thanks for all that have stopped by and left comments, I hope you continue to do so.

Anyway, these photos are from this past weekend. I met up with Brad and Shane Myers and also Rich Bistline(HFD 60) at the Army Heritage Days event in Carlise. It did not disapoint at all. I plan on making it a annual event/photoshoot hopefully with Brad and Rich. It is a living history event and the attention to detail is simply amazing. I plan on doing this whole week on photos I shot from there. I hope you like them.

Brad, Shane and Rich, I had a great time hanging out with you guys and I look forward to our next photoshoot and hopefully that can be soon!
