I met an actual Veteran of the Second World War at the Encampment. His name is Chester Karzynski. He served in the Philippines in the 33rd Division Field Artillery working in Wire and Communication. It is always great to meet and speak with the Veterans.

Here is his signature, with pertinent information, on an index card:

The John Clark Big Band was at the Park performing music from the 1940s:

Here is a video of the Encampment. The sounds of the 1940s can be heard in the background.
