If you have read our about us section you will notice the emphasis on education. One of the many ways we want to do this is educate students of all levels. We dress up in period specific uniform, impersonate real soldiers and educate students.

When we went to grade school we always found how very few of our classmates enjoyed history class. I guess rightfully so considering everything was memorization of dates and names. Let us not forget how small textbooks can be on certain subjects. I remember my section on the Vietnam war was barely even a page.

We figure the best way to educate about the United States History is to blend reenactment and education together. For example one of the soldiers I will represent for World War II will be someone I personally know and have talked too. So I am not just picking a name out of a hat… this way it is something authentic. I have taken notes and asked many questions, so that in a sense I will be considered an actor. A good example would be to have one of the actors who played in the HBO mini- series Band of Brothers come to your school and educate about their experiences.

This is Rick’s small Sample of the Civil War.

We take this very seriously. If anyone is interested in using us for Education please contact us.
