I've forgotten that you're pretty big into the reenactments Jason, that's a pretty chilling story about your son.

I haven't been to one in a couple of years, but I remember one I saw a few years back was pretty gruesome in terms of how real it felt, the crack of the muskets and the loud booms of the cannons.

I only wish I could visit Gettysburg sometime during one of their reenactments. That would be huge!

I've lived about an hour from Gettysburg for the last seven years, and STILL haven't managed to get there for any of the reenactments (usually due to work). This year, perhaps.

I did a little looking around, and look at the size of the reenactment!

Ha! that's the footage from Sid meier's Gettysburg.

The movie movie? Not an actual reenactment?

Sounds more like a game, with the 'Sid Meier's.'

The entire movie was an reenactment. Shot on site with actual reenactors

Some of the guys were at Boone Hall last year... they´re still excited

I really hope that our whole unit is able to come over in 2 years...
