'They're 18 Again'

John Ashton of Plymouth Meeting and his grandson Clinton Wakefield, 11, studied U.S. war weapons and machinery at the National Guard Armory in Plymouth Meeting during the 2nd Annual Veterans Fair on Feb. 19.

Ashton is a U.S. Army veteran who served from 1956 to 1962 in places including Iceland.

"It was during the Cold War ... and we were cold," he said.

Ashton said he was impressed with the Veterans Fair.

"It's great," he said.

Clinton agreed and said he liked "everything." 

Vince Santucci of West Grove and his son also attended the show. 

"They're 18 again," Vince Santucci said of watching WWII and other retired U.S. military members reminisce over war memorabilia. "That's why we do this."
