Ah man! I wish i could have gone! I love little reenactment dealies. I went to Gettysburg a few years ago and learned all about the First Minnesota. Very interesting stuff! Okay, I have revealed enough nerdiness for one day. Thanks for the video!

Good job honey! I like how you ended on Wellstone too. I'm glad that we put two small stones of our own down there with the rest.
