OMG we had a blast!! I can’t decide where to post the “fun”…thanks to the folks who folded my son into their ranks. I think it was the 66th? Infantry..His first experience with firing a black powder gun..evidently, the mix doesn’t taste so good…lol! And he got to do bayonet drill, which has been on his list of “todo” for quite some time. I cannot get over how kind they were to include him, loaner gun, belt, box etc, etc…as well as feeding him breakfast!
Thank you to the 5th Kentucky for filling my tin cup with hot, good coffee! I hoteled it..but breakfast wasn‘t served until 8 and I needed to be back to camp. Ugh, won’t make the “I don’t really have breakfst in my kit” mistake again…They were cooking bacon..Just not bold enough yet to ask for vitals from strangers!
