As a living historian, I was at Cash's Battery on the swing team on a six horse hitch at Cemetery Ridge at 125 years to the second of the Pickett's Charge and watched the Confederate enactors march toward me. I was at Brice's Crossroads and Britton's Lane 125 years to the second on horseback as a 7th Tn member, I was at Shiloh 125 years to the second on the April 6th anniversary at the Sunken Road. At Grierson's Raid 125 Years to the second, I was at Parker's Crossroads 125 Years post battle to the second, at Corinth 125 years to the second, at Hatchie Bridge 125 years to the second, at Iuka 125 years to the second, at Chicamauga at the location of the breakthru to the 125 anniversary, at Stone's River at the 125th anniversary to the second, and at Franklin at the Columbia Pike at 125 years to the second...and those were just the ones I can remember. In North & South I am on horseback at Charbrusco, First Manassas, Petersburg, and Appomattox.

I was told that the only decoration that most WWII Infantry guys wanted to wear was the Combat Infrantrymen’s’s Badge which was silver and blue musket. That was the only thing in my Dad’s old foot locker from WWII. I still have that sterling silver badge.
In the Navy, we didn’t get that, but they started the Combat Action Ribbon during VN.
The creeps that steal the valor are beneath contempt.
Kerry would have not had any problem if he had downplayed his service, but when he tried to make himself into more than just a guy who served..he ran into problems.
