| HOUSTON VETERANS DAY PARADE 11 NOV 2011 |
This was our unit's first official event - to march in the Houston Veteran's Day Parade in Houston, Texas as part of the 6th Cavalry Historical Association vehicle entry. 6th KOSB Historical Reenactment Unit formed part of a small group of reenactors who choose to "hoof it" on foot during the short parade in downtown Houston. |

Captain Shoffett was the Distinguished Service Medal, and five air citations with the 13th Air Force in the South Pacific. On the right, wearing military greens is Sgt. Harold Best, a Marine Corps combat veteran of the battle of Fallujah, Iraq. Sgt. Best also spent time with the Black Watch in Iraq and can attest to their incredible ability to "put away the beer." |
