VBOB in Washington DC – December 14-16, 2011

Fort Meade

Veterans, families and friends gathered to commemorate the 67th anniversary of the start of the Battle of the Bulge. In addition to the camaraderie all enjoyed the trip to Fort Meade in Maryland, a night tour of our nation’s capital, laying wreaths at the World War II Memorial and Arlington Cemetery and our banquet.
