"REENACTING IS NOT A GLORIFICATION OF WAR
RATHER A REMEMBRANCE OF THOSE THAT DIED FOR OUR FREEDOMS"
"We are people to whom the past is forever speaking. We listen to it
because we cannot help ourselves, for the past speaks to us with many
voices. Far out of that dark nowhere which is the time before we were
born, men who were flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone went through
fire and storm to break a path to the future. We are part of the future
they died for; they are part of the past that brought the future. What
they did--the lives they lived, the sacrifices they made, the stories
they told and the songs they sang and, finally, the deaths they
died--make up a part of our own experience. We cannot cut ourselves off
from it. It is as real to us as something that happened last week. It is
a basic part of our heritage as Americans". -Bruce Catton
