Living History
In this type of event, participants set up a display attempting to show the public a small part of what Soldiers, Marines, Sailors or Airmen experienced during the war. Such displays normally focus on the "Material culture" of the military during the war, with tents, vehicles, weapons, and other everyday items on display in as close to their original context as possible. Participants in uniform are generally available to answer questions or perform period activities for public observation.

Famous quotes containing the words living and/or history:
“The living all assemble! What’s the cue?—
Do what the clumsy partner wants to do!”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
