Folks, Hale Farm was a great success. It was hot and rained. It's an official reenactment. But we had a great time and the unit performed in outstanding fashion. I received good comments from the Colonel and other Company Commanders. So much, that we were honored by being asked to carry the 5th's Colors in Saturday's battle to honor the Marines from Ohio who lost their lives last week figting the forces of evil. You guys did a great job and I was extremely fortunate to be allowed to lead you.
Thanks to Ken and Barb Hillegass for coordinating Saturday evening's 5th Ohio Family Picnic. I am still digesting!
A couple of reminders. We start back to regular monthly meetings the 2nd Thursday of September. Information will go out in the auto-email or check the 5th OVI Calendar for details and location.
Next is the reenactment at Zoar Village September 16-18. We will have a military camp above the family camp as we did last time. This is your chance to fall in with the 5th in large Company capacity. With men from the 4th, we are looking at having around 25 rifels!
Lastly, many of you have been asking me to send out the web address of where to order 5th Ohio t-shirts, mugs, bumper stickers and so on. You can find them at www.cafepress.com/5thovi.
Again, thanks to all for a great weekend!
Chris
