Revolutionary War Interpretive Unit to Dedicate Soldiers Resting Place!
Saturday, May 31, 2008 we will remember and dedicate the burial place of two Revolutionary Soldiers, Stephen Lindsey and Jonathan
Thrasher at Pioneer/Goodenough District Cemetery on Henderson Road (off NYS Rt. 3).
May 31st is the actual Memorial Day and we hope you can join us at this important memorial dedication. The Continental Arms
Collectors Association’s Revolutionary War Interpretive Unit, headed by George Clark, reflects a company from the 1st
NY Regiment, Continental Army circa 1782. They use 1779 Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United
States and they offer a first hand glimpse of our Nation's colorful military history.
The Continental Arms Collectors Association, Inc. was founded in 1982 as a Not-for-Profit educational organization. The mission:
“to enhance public knowledge on the significance of firearms in American History.” The Revolutionary War Interpretive
Unit was introduced in 1992 to further educate the public about daily life in the Continental Army. Extensive research culminated
in the selection of accurate reproduction weapons, accoutrements, equipment, headgear, footwear, and clothing in use by the
unit. The high standard for the group’s accurate performance of military drills and ceremonies, in use by the Continental
Army during the latter part of the War of Independence, is a result of the intense training the unit is committed to.
The ceremony begins at 11am and will be under 1 hour. Other participants include the VFW and the DAR. Local family members
from Sandy Creek, Florida, Michigan and Maryland will be in attendance.
