Happy Monday!

Whether you are more interested in guards on basketball teams or on battlefields, both drove out of town yesterday. If you are a Carolina fan, you are saying, “Wait until next year.” If you are are a Duke fan or a reenacter on the British side or the American side of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, you are thinking about next year saying, “Same thing; different year.” 

As for the owner of this North Carolina vanity plate, 1FTGUARD, he is celebrating being a fan of reenactments 365 days a year. He is a  foot guard which makes him part of a senior infantry regimen. Foot guards can be distinguished by the spacing and arrangement of the buttons on their tunic. The oldest regiment of continuously serving foot guards are the Coldstream Guards and they have been serving since the 1650’s.

We don’t know about you but as for us, it seemed like February would never end and that March is almost over!
