5th Michigan Company K.

MISSION STATEMENT

5^th Michigan Volunteer Infantry

Company K

Saginaw City Light Infantry

Our mission is to portray Union Soldiers from the Civil War period 1861-1865. In doing so, we strive to educate ourselves and the public in all aspects of the everyday life of common Union soldiers. This includes, but is not limited to: how they talked, drilled, marched, fought, and ate; what uniforms, equipment and weapons they used; what their mind set was and how they coped physically, mentally and spiritually with that terrible war. We endeavor to take re-enacting to a new level by being leaders in authenticity of dress and action and to always teach others by example. Our goal is to be the most respected and well-trained re-enacting group in the state of Michigan. We believe in fostering long lasting friendships through teamwork and collective common effort. We strive to make re-enacting as fun and non-political as possible. We work for the preservation of Civil War battlefields and historical sites. We will grow our ranks with quality friends and historians and, above all, honor the men who preserved the Union.
