Maybe we're educating the public a little, since schools don't teach this kind of thing anymore. When we go in uniform, the kids love it. I went to my daughter's school, but I was ordered not to go in uniform. We want to get across the passion that the people who do this have for this country. We're trying to get people to understand and appreciate this country.
History is history.
You have to understand how much this means to us. Certainly, some people think I'm nuts. That's why reenactment isn't for everybody. At Gettysburg, I bet there'll be 40,000 people there. Sometimes it's hard to explain in words.
