Armed Forces Weekend set at TSRR

Staff Reports
The Palestine Herald

PALESTINE The 11th Annual Military Weekend will be held May 16-18 at the Texas State Railroad Depot in Palestine.

This year’s theme is “In Defense of the Homeland.”

The park is located approximately three miles east of U.S. 84 from Loop 256 in Palestine on Park Road 70.

On May 16, the event will start with the arrival of the Military Armament Train at 10 a.m. at the Palestine Depot.

Living historians, re-enactors, representatives of the various branches of service, civilian aviation helicopters, privately owned military aviation which will include a UH1C Huey helicopter and military exhibits.

The UH1C Huey helicopter will offer rides to the public for a fee.

A 20MM gun mount from the Battleship Texas and many other living history exhibits that cover a broad spectrum of military history including the 1850’s Texas forts period, Civil War and Buffalo Soldiers, Spanish American War, World War I, World War Ii, Korea, Vietnam and present day military exhibits.

One of the many highlights of the day will be the small arms demonstration on various types of weapons used from different periods of military history and mock WWII battles which will be choreographed by the Texas Military Historic Society.

Men and women from all walks of life will be providing education and entertainment as living historians and re-enactors. This event honors the men and women in uniform past and present.

The month of May itself is set aside as a time to remember the accomplishments and sacrifices of veterans and service men and women who serve around the world today.
