Veterans in Parkersburg

World War II Veterans "landed" in Parkersburg Thursday.

The men are members of the 134th AAA Battalion. They fought in the Battle of the Buldge

This was there 22nd reunion, and they're spending the weekend in the mid-Ohio valley.

The Vets spend time together remembering the war, but this year's conversation is regarding a potential war with Iraq.

They said on Thursday they were fighting a different kind of war.

"As an old solider I hate to say wait because there liable to advance too much and then I hate to say send out boys but we gotta do something and it's up to us to do something," said Wallace Jean.

This group of veterans will be in Parkersburg through Saturday.
