A veteran and his family talk to one of the Marine reenactors after a flamethrower demonstration Feb. 17, 2018, at the Wellington Banquet Center in Wichita Falls, Texas. Reenactors, who are actually active duty military members themselves, put on a show for the veterans. Not only did they demonstrate the power of the flamethrower, an integral part of World War II, they also reenacted the famous raising of the American flag on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima.
