very moving! My admiration for everyone who invests their time, talents, and $$ to participate in these organizations and events. I so admired G'burg when I was assigned to Carlisle Barracks. Attended Remembrance Day. Spent many a Saturday walking the ground and experiencing that almost spiritual sensation. Had family fighting on both sides in that terrible, heartbreaking war. One uncle in the 17th Mississippi, Barksdale's Brigade, was killed on July 2 near the Peach Orchard. Private George Poole, a student, was 21 years old. I have his pocket watch with broken crystal, his worn Bible (someone had inscribed with his unit and "Killed Getisburg, July 2, 1863"), and a daguerreotype of him and his brother. I walked the ground where George was most probably killed. He had no idea that day, as he marched toward the Union lines, that it was his last hour on earth but that he would pass his genes to a U.S. Army officer, his family descendant, walking that same ground, trying to feel George's presence 130 years later. On both sides, the flower of American youth.
So well done. Good to see the ladies and lads. Good to see so many younger reenactors. Need more membership in the Sons of Union Veterens. I was once a member of the SVC until I got letters from George Wallace and the Klan (the 60s). My son got a letter from a neo nazi group in West Virginia. A little more research showed by Norrth Carolina relatives had all deserted so I wasn't really eligible after all.
I used dto march with the Sons of Union Veteran of the Civil War during the Memoral Day in Washington. Played Union tunes on my bagpipes. Cant any more due to med problems but loved it. Loved honoring the boys in blue my great uncle 13th NY Cav died Andersonville, as well as my Dad 29th Infantry Division, WWII, 3xpurple heart, Omaha Beach,
Sensible force on one side and heroic aspiration on the other, very difficult to choose which side to be rooting for!!! Fortunately the political issue was settled and today folk can enjoy one another in wonderful spectacles should as this, which recognises the hope of national unity.
Really? Very difficult to choose sides? One side was fighting to keep Black folk in bondage, free labor slaves, by force, torture, rape and murder. It's not difficult for me to choose sides. Here is the kicker: Then as now, the poor were doing the fighting on the insurrection side. Sounds familiar?
I truly miss all of the good times my pards and I had for the 21 years we enjoyed together while doing living history presentations on the field near the Pennsylvania Monument. 19th U.S. Regular Color Guard of the Ohio Valley Civil War Association. The only unit allowed to retire the national colors at the national cemetery under arms. Marched in proper color guard from Pennsylvania Monument to cemetery. Retired the colors. Presented them to Ranger Thomas Holbrook. Reformed color guard and marched back to jump off point. The number of people who would stop and pay respects to the colors as we marched by was inspiring and heart warming. HUSSAH, HUSSAH, HUSSAH!!!
Don't let anyone 400 lbs overweight tell you you're a farb. Some of these cows have the most expensive bells and whistles but look worst than a "farb" with proper weight dimensions of a Civil War soldier.
@@DARisse-ji1yw people who can't afford the expensive gear so have to get the cheaper stuff that's not as authentic. It's modern trope now that drove a lot of people away from the hobby especially young people.

I love the GAR reenactors. They look just like Union veterans I've seen in pictures and videos taken at the reunions years after the war.

My Great, Great Grandpa and Great Great Uncle enlisted in Harrisburg PA. From Uniondale PA.
Uncle Erastus was held and almost died in Andersonville
Oh my Lardy, Lard.

Some of these guys look straight out of 1863, others look straight out of Spirit Halloween. Not naming names but the difference is night and day
Some of those guys look straight out of an All You Can Eat Buffet, too.
Well for sure them johnny rebs did have a bit more swagger
Off to the pub boys, o'abe got the tab
71st PA Inf gets my vote for most squared away (ish) unit.
I had ancestors fight on both sides, even at Gettysburg. My Confederate ancestors outnumber my Union ones about 5 to 1 though! 😂
i have a feeling a whole lot of beer was consumed after the parade
...and the night before 🍻
About how many reenactors attend the parade?
The Rebs one get 5 minutes?
It was quick!
@@gettysburgimages 😂 hahaha
Down with the rebels
Where's the stars and bars the superior army of northern Virginia

What's a Farb ?

Skipped to confederates
You feel the need to announce?
@@anthony_de_paz every day, little Tony
