Hometown Heroes History and Displays

The time has come we are set up at the National Marine Corps convention 2026 in Indianapolis, Indiana. This has been a long time waiting and I'm extremely glad to be displaying this collection ranging from the Civil war to the war on terror. I am also very honored to be displaying some items from the late Tom Price's collection.

Pictures of the display itself. This time we were in a 20x30 foot tent with about 10 tables and we still ran out of space 😂. It's been truly a great time and the people have been awesome just hoping the rain stays away tomorrow.

It's with a heavy heart that I write this post. If you know me you know that my grandfather was everything to me he is the reason I got into military collecting and military vehicles. I spent everyday with him and my grandma as my parents worked he was like another dad. To me he was my Old man to the government he was Spec 4 William Kloski US Army, 7th army radio operator. He was born in 1945 and grew up in Detroit and fell in love with the girl across the street Chris Kloski and got married when he was 20 and she was 18. He served his country during the Vietnam war in Germany as a radio operator and came home to raise a family and became a bright spot in everyone's life who met him. I love you Grandpa and I'll see you again. You are now in God's army show them how the 1/ 20 worst did it.
