The Annual Muster of the 116th Infantry Regiment, Stonewall Brigade

By Townie 76

In the day of yore; the yeomanry would gather annually for the muster of the local militia. Tomorrow night I shall participate in that ancient tradition.

On Saturday, November 7th, 2009, the 116th Infantry Regiment, the lineal descent of the famous Stonewall Brigade at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel in Staunton Virginia for it annual musters.

It has been ten years since I have been to a muster. The last time was in 1999. It will be good to once again see many of my old mates, men and women, who I served with in the 116th Infantry Regiment 29th Infantry Division from 1984 until 1998.

An ancient tradition, once again performed, veterans of conflicts old and new, gathering to remember the heritage of their Regiment and to celebrate those who have gone before. This is the right and proper thing to do.
