00:06.340 --> 00:08.860
As the civil war raged into the spring

00:08.860 --> 00:12.150
of 1862 , 2 massive armies collided at

00:12.150 --> 00:15.470
Shiloh Tennessee . Now , 150 years

00:15.470 --> 00:17.480
later this ground erupts again with

00:17.480 --> 00:20.280
cannon and rifle fire . Today is a re

00:20.280 --> 00:22.950
enact a day to honor those who fought

00:22.950 --> 00:25.730
here and for 24 12 Theater Engineer

00:25.730 --> 00:27.620
Command Brothers in Arms . It's a

00:27.620 --> 00:29.564
chance to step back in time . Well

00:29.564 --> 00:33.080
actually I was 14 and some local groups ,

00:33.540 --> 00:35.429
we're having an event always been

00:35.429 --> 00:37.651
interested in the civil war , went down

00:37.651 --> 00:39.651
and watched and walked up to me and

00:39.651 --> 00:41.707
said , hey , I want to join up . And

00:41.707 --> 00:43.873
they said , sure there's times when we

00:43.873 --> 00:47.830
will um , march out

00:47.830 --> 00:51.040
of the woods or over a ridge , a whole

00:51.040 --> 00:53.400
division of union troops may come over

00:53.400 --> 00:57.320
a ridge on top of us and you get this

00:57.320 --> 01:00.540
euphoric feeling that this is what it

01:00.540 --> 01:02.910
must have actually felt like in a war

01:02.910 --> 01:04.743
that's been described as brother

01:04.743 --> 01:06.632
against brother . Family was very

01:06.632 --> 01:08.743
important to the soldiers and it's an

01:08.743 --> 01:10.854
important part of the reenactments as

01:10.854 --> 01:13.021
well . I don't know if I would want to

01:13.021 --> 01:15.188
do it without my wife . It's that it's

01:15.188 --> 01:17.354
that important . We've got some people

01:17.354 --> 01:19.521

01:21.743 --> 01:23.660
