Description

From the area of the diorama, we spotted a great view of one of the battlefields and suddenly a billow of smoke fluttered by and caused a WTF moment. Upon arriving on the back patio, we spotted an "encampment" in full progress. The adults tending the fire told us the kettles contained a lot of Dinty Moore Beef Stew and they'd be feeding the militia later on... that was the smoke, but militia? Obviously a school outing. We had two groups of armed troops (love the alliterations), and a squad trying to raise a bivouac. All in complete earnestness to "do the job right". They could not have picked a better day; it was glorious. So we will review the troops for a bit and then drive thru the park. Enjoy; thanks for viewing and watch out for wooden musket balls.

As an armature historian, First Cav Div. Life Member, VFW Life Member, Legion Member, and a member of the Chippewa American Indians; I herald the efforts of your community to maintain our history that we never make these mistakes again. As Joseph Stalin once quipped, "Give me three generations and history is anything I said it was." I live in China as an American English School Teacher, and I can testify to the truth of that statement. Be sure to give us more. Save the monument of the "War to End Rebellion" (it wasn't very civil after all). It gives future generations something to reflect on.

Sounds an interesting job. I knew a bucha squids in Japan that did similar work teaching English on the side. Some openings here for European and former USSR immigrants in this area, but most come over speaking a very acceptable version of English. Those that don't probably aren't here above board.

So what's the job like? Travel ops, etc.? I'm sure folks here would be interested.
