I have been doing this for about 5 years now in uniform. This year Compatriots Leonard Rohrbough and Paul Guidry, along with the Pierre de Mandeville chapter DAR mad a presentation to the 5th grade students of Our Lady of the Lake Catholic church in Mandeville. They have a Colonial Days celebration in the last week of school.

About 50 kids dress in various colonial attire and this year they surprised us with 3 “King Georges”. The DAR ladies presented stories of the heroin's of the revolution and the 200 anniversary of Marquis de La Fayatte’s grand return tour to the United States. Compatriots Rohrbough and Guidry spoke about the uniforms and the histories of our ancestors that wore them and various aspects of colonial life.
