what sort of freaky ass kids are into WWII re-enactments in this day and age? this is bizarre as can be.
Actually, Conneaut, Oh. beach on Lake Erie, (20 min away) holds a reenactment every year of D-Day. Its said to be one of the best in the country. Planes, boats, tanks, hundreds of men and pyrotechnics.
"Once again D-Day Ohio, Inc. will invade the Lake Erie shores of Conneaut, Ohio, and stage the largest D-Day (1944) living history reenactment in the country. Featuring over 1,800 reenactors from across the US and Canada, spectators will witness men, women, and their machines perform a living tribute to the veterans of WWII through dress, mock battles, and living history displays. Meet the real men and women that lived through these times. Last year we were proud to host over 150 WWII veterans and hope to have even more this year.
Come and be a part of this Admission FREE event and experience what people call the most realistic and educational D-Day reenactment of the WWII era."

You should check out some of the pictures. Its a big event.
I suppose if they had been doing this when I was their age, I'd have been into it too.
Shit... I would have been more freaked out if they had been into the Civil War.
