Words cannot express my deep appreciation to all of the reenactors who participated in this historical reenactment battle at Fort Pocahontas.

There were over two-hundred soldiers, which included over fifty USCT reenactors. They came from as far away as New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Rhode Island, Ohio, Kentucky, Washington, D.C. and many other states around the U.S. Thanks to these dedicated Civil War Reeanctors, we had a very successful weekend of filming.

I would also like to thank Mr. Harrison Tyler owner of Fort Pocahontas and Kay Tyler and Joe Funk, for allowing us to film this historical reenactment event. Once the documentary of Black, Copper, & Bright is completed, we hope to bring you a very exciting, educational documentary on "The Fighting First" USCT Regiment of Washington, D.C.

Thank you for all of your support.
