Stripling Warriors

We went to Bountiful Utah to visit our grandkids and they had been invited to participate in the Pioneer Day parade. I can't remember his name, but a man that lived there had been trying for years to put together an reenactment of the 2000 Stripling Warriors. He finally succeeded. He portrays Helaman and he actually had over 2000 young men along with their (father) Captains marching and chanting. It covered 4 football fields in length. They marched twenty abreast with their staffs. It was absolutely amazing. Helaman was all "decked" out in full uniform. It was a sight to see. There have several postings on UTube as well.
