World War II Re-enactors Preserving History-- Part 1

From the Nov. 6, 2015, Chicago Tribune "Preserving History."

While it may seem like a modern-day hobby, reenacting is a tradition that dates back to the Roman Empire.  Today, the Civil War reenactments are the most popular here in America, especially during the sesquicentennial of the Civil War.

However, World War II reenactments are becoming more popular here in the Midwest.  Kent berg of the Living History Reenactment Association estimates that 5,000 people participate in World War II reenactments in the U.S. and even more around the world.

I have been seeing ads for more and more World War II reenactments in the Midwest.
