Stepping Back in Time at the National Museum of the Pacific War – A Living History Experience

Five years ago, before Jeff Copsetta became a host on our show, he extended an invitation that we couldn’t pass up. He invited us out to the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, Texas, to take part in their incredible Living History Program—and we jumped at the opportunity.

This video captures that unforgettable trip.

The museum’s Living History Program isn’t your typical reenactment. It’s a full-immersion World War II experience, complete with authentic gear, weapons demonstrations, and a meticulously recreated Pacific battlefield setting. The event brings history to life with powerful, live-action reenactments that honor the service and sacrifice of those who fought in the Pacific Theater.

Whether you’re a history buff or just curious about what it was like to be in the boots of a WWII Marine, this video offers a glimpse into the realism and respect that make the program so unique.

Hope you enjoy the journey back in time with us.
