WWII Western Front Tour

https://www.facebook.com/share/1BeasHBmvY/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Follow our WWII Western Front Tour on Facebook. We’re jumping off on our second WWII tour this July 25th. From England to Normandy, Paris, Versailles, Bastogne, Cologne, all the way to Berlin. This trip is Epic! We see the sights the Troops invading France saw in 1944. Churchill’s War Rooms in London is a highlight, then crossing the English Chanel by ship from Portsmouth to Caen, just like many in the D-Day invasion did. We see Normandy, including the D-Day Experience- where you can find some Service of Supply reproductions in the gift shop! Then on to Rouen, and Paris, and a tour of the Palace of Versailles. Following Paris, we head to the Foxholes in Bastogne where the 101st fought. We go to Cologne and see the amazing cathedral, then a fast train to Berlin. In Berlin we’re going to visit Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. Like I said, an epic adventure! This tour in 2026 is 11 days, and we’re already planning a 2028 tour which will take us to Nuremberg, Munich and the Eagle’s Nest in the German Alps.

VACATION- Won’t ship orders!

There are going to be a couple of blocks of time where we won’t be shipping orders- Really apologize for this. We found help with the cat, found help with other chores, but can’t train up someone to work the shop. The kids both grew up and moved away… SO for the dates between JULY 3 to JULY 10, and again from JULY 25 to AUG 4, we won’t be shipping orders. If you ordered between that time, hang on, your package will go out as soon as we come back. If it shows in stock, then 99.999% sure it’s still there and it’s saved for you! Being a school teacher (for one more year btw) we do some getaways in summer since that’s pretty much the only time for us. Thanks for understanding!

Picture perfect…

Last week I was attempting to delete old pictures from my web server. Or so I thought. I managed to delete lots of pictures, some which were on products still up for sale. So, if you happen across an item you might be interested in, and the site shows its in stock, but there is no picture… let me know by text and Ill shoot you some shots ASAP. Then Ill load thos pics to the website unless you are buying that item! Ill get replacement pics up as the summer rolls by.

Summer has gone by pretty fast…

Hope you had some great events this summer. Lots of reenactments and living history set-ups around the world. Here we go, almost fall. Ok, sorry to rush it, but as a teacher, the end of August is the end of life as I know it. I actually got caught up on a lot of the little things that were out of stock for so long. Remember, I’m not making the rubber rifle grenades myself, so if you want to be notified about the restock, shoot me a text. I’m not putting the number in this paragraph because the bots that scan the internet find it and call me all the time. Text, don’t call. Unless you text first to tell me you are calling. I really hate spam calls and 80% of what I get each day is spam. Anyway, when you see something is out of stock, it really is. Yes, the rifle grenades are always out of stock it seems. They are just too cool of a toy to keep around. The production is up, and so hopefully we’ll have a ready supply once we fill the current demand. Glad to see there is a demand! If you’ve never seen one in action, check them out on YouTube. Customers have posted many videos, and I think I have one or two up myself. Well, I’ll get back to work. Sure do appreciate you visiting the website. Thanks!

Running for Veterans

My son, and one of Service of Supply’s employees, ran a 🎃 fun run today wearing full Vietnam era combat gear. The 5k is raising money for great community organizations, but Ian is asking for sponsors to help raise money for the VFW Foundation. Help him through his GoFund Me.

Veterans Day School Assembly and Yakima Veterans Day Parade 2018

I had the privilege of working with 24 awesome high school students who wore the uniforms of American service men and women from the last 100 years.  I’ve collected uniforms for a very long time, and this is the best, by far, way to display them!  Walking in the parade for the 100th commemoration of the end of WWI was incredible.  Yakima turned out in great numbers to honor our veterans.  It was an awesome day!

Students Involved in Military Tributes, Parades and Events – Over the Years…

Service of Supply is not just a business.  It’s a personal collection, a way to honor our nation’s military veterans, and a vehicle for getting students involved in our patriotic history.  Bryan Dibble collects uniforms of all eras and puts them to use for Veterans Day, demonstrations, living history displays, and much more.  Students from our city eagerly volunteer to represent the military men and women of the past.  Our group is called SERVE – Students Engaged in Re-creating Veteran’s Experiences.  SERVE teaches students about the period of time they are representing.  We meet veterans at the VFW and learn more about what they experienced in the service.  Students who are wearing uniforms also are called upon to teach others, especially younger kids, what that uniform represents and who the people were called up to serve at that time in American history.  Since the late 1990s, hundreds of students have worn the uniforms and “walked a step in their shoes.”

KATS FM Radio giving us a cool tribute for Veterans Day

KATS FM posted a cool little video last year for Veterans Day.  We do this every year, and it’s fun to see the students wearing the uniforms and interacting with the vets at the FVW in Yakima, WA.  Thanks to KATS for being there and sharing what these great kids do for our vets!
