Lonesome EJ: OUr outfit (Company A, 12th United States Infantry. Does two events annualy on actual battle fields. One Elmira is on the battle field for NEwtown during the Revolutionary war. The other is Cedar Creek, which I'm sure you're familiar with. My view is it helps the spectators go away with a better understanding of what the boys and men who fought the Civil War went through. I feel we honour their sacrifices by keeping the memory alive of the great things they did. Hopefully, that explains my position on it. I like to think that they are looking down saying that at least someone remembers. Kindest reguards, Neil
