Yeah hey folks, take a look on the right flank. See the American flag down there? Yeah, um... what.. what are you saying? Yeah, you in the 50th row. Oh, you mean to say every flag on this field is American. Ooooh. Both as a historian and reenactor I'm so glad that I didn't go this time around.
I was at this event back in '08. Best time I ever had in the hobby!
Excellent video.
These things are great to watch.
Thanks.
