I really like your passion for the unit hospitaller. Your frustration is more common then you think. I even feel it a great deal of time...but channel that into something constructive
If you have any sort of IMing program, I would love to chat sometime  Send you more pictures and information.
I have got to say though. Im not the expert. The boys in Tennessee are the big guns!
Well yeah I sort of feel your pain as well.
I used to be a WWII Reenactor and the unit I was with was 'famous' for being true to the original/real guys we portrayed.
Most reenactors like to 'reenact' what is popular or what the audience wants to see.
We took the opposite approach, we didn't reenact, we did living history. No running around in the woods shooting blanks, but rather spend ridiculous amount of time talking and meeting with the 5th Ranger Bn. veterans and get our impressions right to the 'T'. And only then we would go to memorials, or living history events, or yearly reunions, etc.
When I was too old to accurately portray an average 5th Ranger in WWII, I called it quits, so nowadays I mainly participate with the Ranger Battalions of WWII association and coordinate their reunions, BBC/History Channel documentaries unit participation, etc.
With that said, I'd like to transfer that same attitude into joining a group of people in the same 'frequency' when it comes to the 79th, as I had with my other guys in the 5th RIB.
Thanks again for your thoroughness!
