Time-Line presents Colors at 2013 Westmoreland Arts and Heritage Festival

8 July, 2013 GREENSBURG, PA —Time-Line Enterprises (TLE) presented Colors at the 2013 Westmoreland Arts and Heritage Festival, here.

"The week had started off with cloud bursts through out the days leading to the event, that made everyone fearful that we would have to move the entire display due to flooding.  As the event was getting under way the rain had dissipated and things were on the way to drying out.  This was a good sign to the start of the event.

The opening ceremony started just a few minutes behind schedule due to things beyond the color guard's control.  But as soon as things were cleared the color guard did its performance without a hitch.  No one was able to tell if there had been any problems that occurred.  The color guard is looking forward to the next performance as the lead element of the Avonmore Harvest Festival parade.

The weather held out until later in the first day and we were able to have a great day with the display before having to worry about the storm that came through the area.  The display went on despite the heat and the touch of rain that happened over the weekend.  This just added to the realism of what we were trying to bring to the people. A good show was done thanks to all those that came and helped to make it a success.  The vets that we met were impressed with what we were doing and thanked us for doing it.

This was the second outing that our dress uniform was worn and seen by the public.  The discussions that this opened up was great as we had opportunities to let the public know who we were and what our programs were about.

 In all aspects I, as president of the organization, would say that this was a successful event.  Was the event perfect, by no means.  But the things that did go wrong some we couldn't control and others we have to work on.  As we know this is an ever growing group and we learn more and change things as we grow to meet the needs we face." said Captain Jon Baker, TLE

It's sharp and historically Army from World War II through the mid '70's, and the fact that the components are easily purchased through commercial sources were all considerations when choosing the new TLE service uniform." said Jon Baker, president of Time Line Enterprises. "It will help identify our organization as a professional group where a service uniform is necessary such as color guard, and parade."

Components include a black beret with unique TLE insignia, khaki shirt, black tie and black web belt with brass buckle, khaki pants (Dickies™ #874), and black polished oxford-type shoes. The uniform components are commercially available through Dickies™in both Class A, long sleeve (Dickies™ #549), and Class B, short sleeve (Dickies™ #574), versions.

Membership card means deep discounts!

2 July 2013 GREENSBURG, PA — In recognition of a 6-month membership, Time-Line Enterprises (TLE) has adopted the use of membership cards. Cardholders will be offered up to a 75% discount on limited Vietnam and other reproduction gear and combat fatigue uniforms at TLE associated vendors. Members must submit a valid membership card to apply the discount.


"We're happy to be adopting these membership cards." said Jon Baker, president of Time Line Enterprises. "We hope that when people see a card in public, they ask the holder what it means to be a living historian."

The cards are inspired by the now-defunct Department of Defense identification cards in use until the 1990's. In addition the the TLE logo, the card is clearly imprinted with the name of the organization: "Time Line Enterprises" as well as, "Not a Military Pass" in order to ensure membership cards are not mistaken for military identification. The forest green ink and be-speckled white/green paper are unique to TLE. Member-photos are centered in each card; the reverse includes emergency contact information, physical description of bearer, and other TLE authorization.
