The Kings Shilling was taken off the drum head today.

My Children took the Kings Shilling today at the 250th Anniversary of the Fort at Dorchester State Park in Summerville, SC. I was a very proud father as my 7 & 8 year old went up for drill with no gentle push from their mother or me. They joined the Royal South Carolina Independent Regiment of French and Indian War fame. They knew thier left and thier right and marched with ease to the cadence of the officer and the NCO in charge of the recruitment detail. It was a great day had by all. Many thanks to the SC Parks and the Colonial Dorchester Foundation for putting on this wonderful event.

I hate to say it, but at least for today

GOD SAVE THE KING!!!
