Pacific War Battle Re-Enactment

It's 1944, somewhere in the Pacific Theater, and American forces are about to take a Japanese-held position...

Or it could be 2010, in Fredericksburg, Texas. On selected weekends each year. the National Museum of the Pacific War (aka the Nimitz Museum) holds Living History weekends. They present these battle demonstrations three times a day, explaining in detail about the weapons and combat equipment and tactics used by both sides in the Pacific War. Each show lasts about two hours and is well worth a visit.

I just was the live version this past weekend. Only difference was they didn't use the tanks as part of the show. But there was an actual WWII vet in the audience. The host of the show called him out and I noticed that he got emotional watching the reinactment. People were shaking his hand and thanking him for his service. I was awesome.

That was a great video, but seeing it live is even better. It is definitely worth the drive to see and especially to hear the re-enactment. The hardworking volunteers deserve congratulations for running around in uniform that heat, especially the heavy ones!
