View attachment 496643Anybody going to Homestead?

I'll be there! A group of us just met at the Homestead Military Appreciation Day and this is sort of a kickoff rally/party.

I'm thankful y'all are having an event down in Homestead. Have you created a separate thread to keep track of who is attending and invite others to join you? This thread is about events in the Central Florida area. Homestead is a LONG drive from Orlando.

I did make another page here. I just saw that eumel789 asked about it so I figured I'd answer him Sorry to barge in.

I drove my truck home to the Keys from Ft Pierce when I bought it... Looooong drive! Hurts thinking about it.

That's cool, man. I know how difficult it is to organize events - I've spent the better part of 10 years doing so. I just didn't want anyone to miss out on the opportunity to have a great time due to the information on the event being buried in an unrelated thread!

Is anyone else interested in knowing about events happening around Central Florida?

August and September typically don't have too many MV or reenactor events due to the oppressive heat, humidity, and daily afternoon showers. Unfortunately, I don't know of any events during your vacation. The next event I will coordinate is the Veteran's Day Parade on 11/8. The Steel Soldiers Georgia Rally is October 8-12. It's a 450 mile drive north from Davenport.

I don't know of any good surplus stores around the Kissimmee area. Google it when you get here, and maybe you will run across a gem of a store that I've never visited!

Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Academy!
There is no cure for OD Fever. There is no 12 step program because no one wants to be cured. Steel Soldiers is the best support group on the Interwebs. You are in good company, my friend!

I added you to my list. The next event I will be organizing is a Veterans Day Parade. I'll keep you posted. Do you have an MV, or are you still looking for one?

Actually I am the proud owner of a 1991 923a2.A Friend of mine showed up at a camp out around 6 mos.ago with his 5ton,and that was it I HAD 2 HAVE ONE.He hooked me up with the gl website and within 2 weeks I was heading back from atl.with my very own 5 ton.I follow this web site ALOT and thanks to all you mv guys I have learned things about these vechicles that I would not have learned in years.I look forward to meeting the mv owners around our area and at least through ss web pages of other states.I think the brotherhood you guys show towards one another is priceless like andys truck breaking down on the side of road and not one but dozens jumped in to help WAY KOOL.You just don't find people willing to do that anymore.I think that I have found a good thing in the mv world,but you guys have made it that much better.Look forward to meeting you and thanks 4 welcoming me to your family.
