Lets talk about Civil War Re- enactments.

For the "God! I am too hip for all of this !" bunch, this is just a couple of old farts that like to dress up and play with guns. Even our "Info babe " that you seen in the clip knew just enough to get through the interview.

Now I will admit, I know much more about Civil War re-enacting that the average person, But I am a amateur historian. What our interviewer (and for that matter, most people) don't understand that these two guys are living out the dream that the men who fought it out close to 145 years ago.

At the end of Ken Burns Civil War documentary, They read the reading of an Confederate veteran. He said that he "Wished that he could do it all again". He would wake up with his comrades, answer the rool , form up with his company and march to the battlefield, Fight the battle with the same bravery as he had all those many years before.

And when the guns were silent, Johnny Reb & Billy Yank would stand up and have a party as Brothers.

If anything, That what Re-Enacting means to me. Living out a long heald dream...........
