The re-enactors brought along "copies" of the real thing: United States Army Citation/Infraction Tickets from WWII. This is U.S. War Department Form 43-89944A and was handed out by the MPs.

Read this for you will get a REAL kick out of some of them. These aren't made up! :clappin2:

More to follow on this shortly, as we arranged to have one of the vets "arrested" by the two attending MPs. It was a hoot! Photos will be uploaded soon. :kermit:
