After the unveiling and the ceremony in Angoville au Plaine the veterans had lunch in the Triple A re-enactors camp. In a very relaxed sphere (without the usual book signing!) they had lunch and were able to look around on the camp sight. It was great. Thanks to the men of Triple A!

After some practicing Shifty threw up his cigarette and Earl had to shoot it. According to the stories their buddies told me, Earl and Shifty were the best gun men of the company. They were able to fire an aimed shot while bringing there guns into position.
