Jacob's turn to Blog!!

Hi this is Jacob

It was hard to getting in to the suit I slipped, got stuck, and it was rough.

It got hot quick I was going to take a swig of water from the canteen when I realized there was no water.

I was fully dressed except the gun was missing then the park ranger said that the soldiers cared 50 pounds! I thought I would get the gun and drop it. But then she told me they lighted it up. In my head I was cheering I won’t drop! I won’t drop!

You are too close we will scare you with our bayonets ( a bayonet is a type of sword you put on top of a gun when out of ammunition or when the enemy is too close) The solders did not like to use the bayonet because they had to watch the person die.

In this picture I have been away for 2 and a half years at war.

Please ignore the girl next to me she had an itch on her tongue. Now she knows don’t use your rifle to itch anything.

This is the ranger that gave my badge. It is quite different. This time it is a patch. Not any patch the 150 Anniversary!

Finally I know how to work one of these things!  The U.S. Army should watch their backs. The cannons are old but they still work.
