Andy, I think what you do is very commendable. It is a great way for my
kids to get a better appreciation of what history is about. Much, much
better than the movies. I would like to point out that you can
experience many emotions via the reenactments. However, thankfully the
one emotion you will never realize it the incredible terror of the
battlefield. Please, enjoy and continue your fine efforts.
