EVENTS 2014
Wesley's army
The 14th Armored starts out the 2014 season with a really impressive birthday party for young Sgt. Wesley Sizemore. Seven year old Wesley Sizemore, dreams of growing up to be an Army MP. However, on November 13th, he was diagnosed with a rare form of Lymphoma. The good news is that his cancer treatments are going great. Even more good news is that the community really came together to support him with a huge birthday parade and celebration on March 22. The 14th was proud to be part of the festivities.
Atterbury tactical battle
The LHRA put on a tactical battle at Camp Atterbury. The 14th brought the armor! The weather was outstanding all weekend long. The action was decent, but the head count was down for both sides. With such a huge site to play on it is a shame more re-enactors didn't turn out.
This squad got a ride back to base on the WC21 after a long day in the field.

Thunder over michigan
How many people went to Thunder over Michigan 2014? Plenty! As usual the crowds came out to enjoy a great airshow and the WWII re-enactment. The 14th provided 4 Stuarts this year, and we were joined by another. In the above picture take a look at the massive 747 in the top left corner, the field went all the way to that end. Now double it, because the picture was taken in the middle of the action!

Belle of louisville 100 year birthday party

The massive American Queen made the trip to Louisville to help celebrate the Belle of Louisville's 100 birthday party. A different riverboat came by so often I lost count of them. It was pretty amazing. And the 14th was there! We had tanks and trucks on the waterfront along with Kilroy's excellent display. As usual we drew a good crowd. |
