History Channel Shoot

Last week my husband, Lance (left) was at Camp Blanding, Florida with Green Beret and TV host, Terry Schappert, filming an episode of "Warriors", a weekly series premiering on the History Channel on Thursday, March 12, at 9 p.m. Lance was an historical advisor on the Alamo Scouts of WWII and will appear on screen in the season finale airing this summer. We'll keep you posted. If you're wondering, Lance is holding a WWII Paratrooper M1A1 folding stock carbine and Terry an M1 rifle. Whoa! Also, check out the Warriors website by clicking the link above and the Alamo Scouts website at http://www.alamoscouts.org/.
