I sure hope this is the appropriate section for this. I have been absorbed in the civil war since I was a kid. This photo is new to me ,maybe not to all of you. Its just the amount of men ,weapons and the Movement, the movement really strikes me. I hope you folks like it too.

To me, it gives real meaning to "in the bright".

Makes me wonder where they were headed to and how many of those guys walked back up that same road after the fight.

That reminds me of the 50th Anniversary of the N-SSA. We formed up by the units we represented and marched by the reviewing stand, made up of the local mayors. N-SSA pumps a lot of money into the local economy at each National Match.

As a former civil war reenactor, reminds me of the first big Antietam event, I have actually marched in columns such as the one pictured, but as mentioned marched back, as I am sure some of them boys did not.
