149TH EVENT SCHEDULE FOR 2011
~ The Field Of Honor ~
149th Regt.PVI Bucktails
"Who Knows, if it would be given to us after this life, to meet again in
the old quarters, to play chess and drafts, to get up soon to answer the
morning roll call, to fall in at the tap of the drum, for drill and dress
parade, to again hastily dawn our war gear, as the monotnus patter of
a long roll , summons to battle,... Who knows but again the old flags
ragged and torn, snapping in the wind,may face each other and flutter,
persue and pursued, while the cries of victory fills a summer's day,
and after the battle, the slain and wounded, will arise, and all would
meet together under the two flags, all sound and well,and there would be
talking and laughter,and cheers, and all would say... did it not seem
real.... was it not as in the old days.
"unknown Civil War Vetern"
Does it not...seem like todays reenactments, they must gather in the heavens
to watch our simple attempt and remember what they did here, but in another
breath, its just as they wanted,....... to be remembered.... Lest we Forget!
