Excellent scene Mike, think the guns are about to be overtaken. Gun batteries always make fantastic displays no matter what era. Robin.

Our idea of summer fun!
Wish we still had the ACW reenactment near here. We could use the smoke:rolleyes2:.
Seriously I love to see the guns go off around the 4th. We may have to drive to a reenactment a bit farther away this year.
Thanks for the great pics and Best Wishes,
Paddy for Pat & Paddy

I know what you mean. Once upon a time, long ago, I was a Civil War reenactor. My Union persona was the 2nd Wisconsin, and my Confederate personas were the 52 Virginia and the 10th Tennessee. It was a lot of fun . . .

I always intended to get into ACW reenacting and started to collect equipment. But then couldn't bear the woolen uniforms. :redface2: My sons and I wound up in a WWII unit. Lot of fun, we did reenactments at Ft Knox for the families. The armor museum, since moved to Ft Benning, even brought out tanks for the show. Chris

I had lots of friends who did both ACW and WWII as well as a couple who did WWI reenacting. Fond memories. Here's a photo of my 10th Tenn persona

You sure do like Volunteering Mike ! {sm4}

First the Marines for real, then you jump back a century for the Johnny Reb's, guess that Bourbon you like leads naturally to some Rebel Yells ! :salute::

Nothing quite like a couple of Old Rebel Yells . . . One is bone chilling, the other is intoxicating . . .

Yes Mike, I can imagine hearing dozens or hundreds of voices all raised in a Rebel Yell and bearing down on you would so to speak, put the willies up you !
The intoxicating types seem much more inviting !
