Living History Presentations: Our primary mission is Education. Thanks to area instructors 1st Force Recon (reenacting) has the opportunity to talk with students about the War in Vietnam. Rosemont High's very own Mr. Greene has enabled us to speak with his students on many occasions. To date, 1st Force (Reenacting) has spoken to over 3,000 California young people.
