ok im really glad that you guys agree with me, i wasnt sure if someone wouldnt like my view or not, but yea i remember my first reenactment, it was Rockford, Ill.. i love that battle... but anywho, i got seperated from my unit and i ended up with a mixed group of guys from my unit, 30th ID, and other 101, next thing i know the crotch of my pants tore out, and the lifter arm in the M1 Garand i was using came off so suddenly my gun stopped working, thank God i turned around and saw a familiar face, it was one of the guys from my unit, so we fell back out of the village (for those of you that have never been to Rockford there is a village that has been preserved from God knows when, that we're allowed to reenact in and the Germans over run it and we have to push them out) but he fixed my rifle, and we went back into battle. the next day i almost had my face removed by a bazooka...and i slipped in some apples on the ground (DAMN PARATROOPER BOOTS!) bloody things have no traction, its like jackboots on ice [img]tongue.gif[/img] but yea i really loved that battle and i love reenacting, and i will be attending the Lowell event coming up. i heard its pretty good so im going to meet up with a friend from MI who reenacts.
