One from the past(my past). Flag barer hanging out with the artillery, waiting on what the war brings this day. The other is a picture of my son 35 years later in the same uniform.

Your son looks soooo cute hanging out by the Christmas tree! I hope he follows in your footsteps.

Thanks everyone. I used to really enjoy reenacting as a child. My son shows some interest in it but not like I did. His Mother wanted an old looking picture in front of the tree for memories in this case. As far as the picture of me and my friends. I believe that was at Wilderness battlefield in the early 80's. One of my family members from Northern VA cut the picture out of a paper and sent it to me but she didn't send the whole story, so I don't know the exact year. Judging from the way I looked I would say I was 11-12 at the time. I believe that was my last reenactment as just Infantry too. After that I went to the cannon crew for our local group for most of the reenactments..
