Memorial Day weekend may be over, but you can still remember those who fought in past American wars at my website, www.RobertDyer.net. There you will find new photos from a reenactment of a French and Indian War encampment in Hagerstown, Maryland. Of course, the French and Indian War was not technically an "American" war because we were still under British rule at the time (1754-1763).

You might not have heard much about this war in school, but you've heard of some of the people who were involved in it... George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, General Edward Braddock... So despite the lack of attention, it was a very important historical conflict.
