Members of the 78th PVI, Co. F were proud to support a fellow USV unit, the 40th PA (11th PA Reserves), for this event. The beautiful autumn weather allowed a wonderful day of drilling and public interaction. There were many activities on hand for the public to enjoy, including a number that provided hands-on experience for children. This event was hosted by the Plum Historical Society and was an overall success.
