See you at The Armory?

     I'm headed back in time today, not literally though. I'll be at today's reenactment of the Battle For The Armory in Tallassee for a story I'm working on.

     I've always wondered about reeenactments, and why it is that there are no Vietnam War or Korean War reenactments. And why---so far as I know---the reenactments are the product of people who were not actually involved in the fighting (obviously there are no living CW vets).

    Oops. Googled Vietnam War Reenactment and there ya go. There are some. Though this short story doesn't indicate there are any actual vets of that war involved.
     One web site in Australia that discusses reenactments makes it clear there will be at least one major difference between the Vietnam reenactments and the real thing (other than injury and death, that is):

In Vietnam War Reenactments... drinking during combat scenarios is not allowed, and drug use is not allowed at any time.

    If you happen to be in Tallassee, look for me. I'll be the guy with microphones and cameras and tripods and stuff hanging off me.
