Having always enjoyed history and being somewhat of a military buff when I first went to a re-enactment back in 1992 I decided to give it a try. I started out doing WW2 events but I have never seen the Korean War represented. Several years ago in preparation to do a "timeline" I decided to fill this gap and started assembling a Korean War "kit". Even though a lot of the equipment was of WW2 vintage, the solders and their actions need to be represented. My personal impression is that of a soldier from the US 3rd Infantry Division, but the assorted pieces of uniforms, equipment and weapons that are used in a static display or parade were used by all . When a veteran approaches and says "thank you" I know that I have done my part correctly and he knows that the Korean War veteran will not be forgotten. I enjoy what I do and volunteer myself and gear to educate the public and to honor the veterans. Learn and see what you father, grandfather or relative lived and fought with. By learning the past we can prepare ourselves for the future.
