We are a non-profit re-enactment group whose purpose is to provide an accurate portrayal of those who have fought during the Second World War. We participate in private re-enactments and static displays to educate the general public, all at each individual members expense.

Everyone in our group are collectors and history buffs who simply enjoy getting together and reliving the past. We are always looking for new members. We are primarily based in the New York/Connecticut area, but we do have members from Pennsylvania and Georgia. Naturally, there are specific requirements. We want to be as accurate as possible without being to inflexible.

In order to properly re-enact each individual must be outfitted in clothing suitable to the period. During WWII the U.S. supplied its troops with clothing suitable to the climate or specialty that each soldier was experiencing. As the war progressed the clothing improved. "Click" on the "Clothing and Web Gear" link and use the text as a guideline on the type of equipment and clothing that was worn during this period if you decide to re-enact.

If you are interested in re-enacting and becoming a member of our group or a veteran wishing to share a story, please feel free to send an e-mail to me.

Thanks for your interest!

I am often asked why I have such a great interest in the Second World War and why I like to re-enact.

To answer that I have to explain who I am. I was born in 1956 in Greenwich, CT. My Dad enlisted in the army in 1949. When he was discharged he joined the CT Army National Guard and served full-time for 41 years. He retired a Command Sergeant Major. So I guess that I lived sort of a military childhood. I never served, although growing up, I always expected to. When I graduated high school in 1974 the war in Vietnam was just about over. ROTC was not offered at my college until my senior year. I pursued a career as an educator. I am fortunate to teach two courses about World War II and coach high school football. I have three beautiful children.

Growing up there was always news about the war in Vietnam. But I also watched endless hours of old war movies on TV. We also had new movies in the theater about the war such as Patton and The Battle of Britain. I began to read about the war and yearned to learn more about the men who fought it. I respected what they had done. They became my heroes. I am proud that they are. They never spoke about the war and if they did it were mostly stories about R & R or about some special buddy. They carried on with their lives and silently continued to build our country. They never bragged, boasted, or asked for more that what were their rights as a US citizen. Knowing all along that they fought and died to preserve our freedoms. They tore down the walls of tyranny and preserved democracy. Without a doubt they were a special breed of men and women that this country may never see again.

Therefore, their exploits must be remembered and their stories must be passed on from generation to generation. Their sacrifices must never be buried and continue to live. I strongly feel that every American and I owe them a debt of gratitude. I hope that if I can at least help pass on their stories I may repay a small amount of that debt.

It is said that imitation is the best form of flattery. I am imitating my heroes.
