On the 4th of July at Fort Knox, they will be having a demonstration of various types of flamethrowers. From the promotion photos, it looks like a Sherman flamethrower as well as multiple man pack flamethrowers.

There will also be some restored display vehicles like an Ontos and Sheridan on display.

That sounds like fun -- not something one sees much anymore!

Make sure to take lots of photos, Rob!

Just in case you can't make it to Fort Knox for July 4th. The National Museum of the War in the Pacific in Fredericksburg, Texas has a re-enactment of the island invasions that same weekend as well as on Labor Day weekend (and Memorial Weekend as well for next year). Tis features an M3 and a flamethrower demostration. It is a fearsome weapon to say the least. This is from last labor Day weekend:
