97th regimental string band-hard tack

[klinder2]

this song was written in missouri in 1861 by men under the command of Gen. Lyion

The simple fact is that soldiers and Marines lived with discomfort, cold, heat, hunger, and thirst. How come they have done that? The simple answer is duty, the responsibility and obligation of citizenship. We are who and where we are thanks to men, soldiers, sailors, and Marines, who have done their duty.

Courage, aggressive fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty in the face of great personal danger.

I feel for the soldiers in the past who had to live with poor diets. The cold, thirst, and the discomforts of the field.

@50TNCSA

you should take out dental insurance-with all those chipped and cracked teeth, you fellows could use a few runs to the dentist.

[EMesaros]

@50TNCSA Aw, that's terrible! Does it ever occur to you that you may have gone far enough with the authenticity--after SIX teeth?! Oi! I am a "farb," I think--I sing the songs, --for the first time this month--but I am not gettin "all spun up," as my husband says, about my costume! I pulled out an old white long skirt and a fancy blouse and that will have to do. Am I using the word "farb" right? from Elena

[FeSo4man]
