As the 225th anniversary of the Battle of Monmouth loomed on the horizon, the Discovery Channel was engaged to shoot a documentary covering the history of this historic battle.  Reenactors were needed and several members of the 11th Pennsylvania Regiment answered the call.

     Russ Richards, of Historical Extras, contracted Charles W., Bill T., Justin B., James B., John C., Chuck B., Wayne and David A. to participate in the weekend long shoot.  We were joined by several members from the 1st and 2nd NJ, along with Proctors and Mott's Artillery.  We apologize for not having pictures of John C., but all these shots were taken on Sunday and John was absent that day.

     Dean Malissa portrayed General George Washington and Stacy Roth portrayed Molly Pitcher.  We first met Dean two years ago at our first appearance at the Jewish Museum in Philadelphia.  .  The documentary aired in June of 2003 in honor of the 225th anniversary of the battle.
