age of soldiers???

Rating: Null/10 (24 June 2007)

My great grandfather was in the 20th Maine along with his OLDER brother.
He was 29.........sorry, but there were soldiers that age and older??? I know most were younger, but you have to give those reenactors more credit. They did an outstanding job. I had over 17 relatives in that war, and most of them were the same age. Also, my husband's relatives from Connecticut, were in their 20s. I wish there were more movies like that, instead of the usual garbage that comes out every year. It is a shame, that the majority of people, just aren't interested. Guess you have to age some? I have great respect, for our military-and have a son overseas as I type. I would have loved to send that movie to him. He used to reenact. But I think it would cause problems there. Tho, having over 50,000 men die or get wounded in 3 days--so many people forget when complaining about the wars that were played out just a few years ago, and now.. imagine, how they would have felt, having this machine there? Being able to email, talk to loved ones? God bless them all. May future generations appreciate what our country is, whether they agree or not. Keep the ''unite'' in united!
