Stars and Stripes in Chesapeake Beach - THIS WEEKEND - LOTS GOING ON!
The Stars and Stripes Festival is coming right up in Chesapeake Beach over Memorial Day Weekend:
Chesapeake Beach AND North Beach businesses and community members are encouraged to decorate their businesses and homes in a patriotic manner for the weekend (and prizes!) Decorations should be up by TODAY (Thursday) for judging.
ALSO
Live Remote of Fox 5, Washington DC scheduled for Friday, May 23 from 7 - 10 AM. The "main stage" will be in the parking lot of the Rod N Reel in front of the Charter Fishing Sign (the sign with the big rockfish).
Please bring your friends and wear your "colors" such as tee shirts, caps, uniforms, etc. that symbolize your group or organization. Also, if you have banners or signs, bring them. We are basically attempting to create a festival atmosphere somewhat similar to what we will be doing on Sunday at Kellam's Field.
ALSO
Join us Saturday, May 24 at 1:30 PM in the Town Hall Chambers as LTC Ret. Phil Pfanschmidt presents a video that he developed for his family and, probably, as a catharsis for himself. Phil was an Instructor Rescue Pilot flying HH-3E helicopters out of Nakhon Phanom (NKP), Thailand, at the height of the air war in Laos in 1969. During the year he participated in 12 rescues and received two Distinguished Flying Crosses and six air medals. The 55 minute presentation is a brief overview of the "Secret War" in Laos, the living conditions in NKP, a local humanitarian mission, and a typical rescue mission. The video includes pictures of Northeast Thailand, Laos, and rescue operations (including actual combat related pictures and video clips). The purpose of the video was to give his family an understanding of the Southeast Asia War, rescue operations, and what life was like during that period. The video contains information concerning the Secret War in Laos that may be new to the viewer.
