Spent most of yesterday at Ft. Devens for the first Armed forces day celebration there in the last 10 years. Since large chunks of the original post became a civilian community called Devens people forget that there is still a post there where you will find 1000 troops or more training and on duty on any given day.
There were 4 bands ranging from country to rock. Beverages provided by the Wachusett Brewery Company’s portable truck and Texas Road House doing the ribs, burgers etc. And a vast array of interesting stuff from Military Dog Demonstrations, WWII weapons, a chance to Dunk the CO at the Dunk tank and hardware and people from all services from the Coast Guard to the Marines.
A very good time was had by all local stories on the event are here and here.
