PARADE UPDATE: 
I, kimothy, was unaware that the parade slot was under a reenactment group. I thought Dress To Honor was having something to do with it since our two main members were invited to walk in the parade. That however is not the case. Dress to honor has nothing to do with this parade spot. Even knowing I was searching for more people to dress up with us i was made aware it is an issue of me inviting people without a safety check for others dressed in wwii-Korean war-Vietnam war uniforms that possibly may have prop weapons and plan to hold them while walking. Which is fine, I was just not told to tell people they needed to go through a safety check when it was well aware that I was actively searching for more people to walk in the parade through the dress to honor page, which is not a reenactment group.

So in light of all of this I, kimothy, will be gracefully bowing out of the parade since I have no idea of what’s going on anyways. In all honesty I’m too mentally unwell after my moms passing to even stress about any of this so that’s why I’ll be bowing out so easily. Best to just walk away for me personally than to deal with it and put energy I don’t have into it.
I hope our Dress To Honor supporters understand.

But to all the people who have reached out to me to join and walk in the parade, if YOU would still like to walk in the parad with the reenactment group I will direct you to Eric Schroeter who can get you in contact with the reenactment guy and they can give you the info on the parade.

Thank you all so much for your time. 😊🙏🏻

ATTENTION VETERAN SUPPORTERS:

Our group Dress To Honor is looking for more people to dress in wwii-Korean war-Vietnam war uniforms (most of use are wwii) and walk in the veterans parade in Colorado Springs November 9th staging starts at 10am.

I do have extra uniforms as well the one that will most likely fix others is my wwii navy uniform.
We also will have a few pinup girls so even 1940’s style are welcome!
Please let me know if you’re interested.

Come join us and say hi! 😊

Tomorrow is the big day, make sure you don't miss this one!
🚨Special Presentation: The Dowding System – Defending Britain against the German Air Force in 1940
Saturday, Dec. 9
Museum opens at 9:00 am
Presentation at 10:00 am
During the dark days of the summer of 1940 Britain’s Royal Air Force (RAF) confronted an air onslaught by the German Luftwaffe in what became known as the Battle of Britain. The German air attacks were aimed at eliminating the RAF as a threat to the invasion of Britain that Hi**er planned for the late summer of that year.
The Dowding System was the key element that allowed the RAF to defeat the German air force during the air battle that lasted almost three months. It was the world’s first large-scale integrated air defense system, and was named after Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding, the commander of the RAF’s Fighter Command. Dowding was largely responsible for advocating and then implementing the system that, when combined with the fighter force, provided an effective means to defend the island nation. The system consisted of the first-ever large-scale radar system, ground observers, fighters, anti-aircraft artillery, regional command and control centers and a robust communications system linking these various elements. The aim was to provide effective and efficient direction to Britain’s limited air defense forces.
On Saturday, December 9th at 10:00 a.m., Docent Steve Hein will present a detailed explanation of the development of the Dowding System and its operation during the Battle of Britain. The presentation will highlight the importance of the Dowding system to eventual victory. The system was the early forerunner of the integrated air defense systems of today.

Even though it was a day of remembrance for Pearl Harbor, we always tend to make some room for fun.
We spent the day at the National Museum of World War II Aviation, The Airplane Restaurant, & the 4th infantry division museum.
