NY Times on WW2 Reenacting
#1
Good and rather long article in the NY Times about reenactors and what motivates them.

That is a really neat article. The reporter brings up some good questions which allot of non re-enactors would ask "are they adrenalin junkies" etc etc. I personally wouldn't re-enact the second world war, I think its too soon. I don't think it shouldn't be done & I'm sure the majority of WW II re-enactors go out of their way to honour the vets which they represent.

That is a nice article, thanks for posting it, Rich.

Glad some reporters aren't biased jerks. Tongue

That article was well done.

It is good to see that there are a few decent reporters (and newspapers which give them time to do a proper job) left in North America.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.

This is a very good article. I've been to the Gap and they do a great job of putting it on.
