Our Purpose as the 10th Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment
Our organizations purpose is to represent the common infantry soldier from the Shenandoah Valley, in particular the counties of Rockingham, Shenandoah, and Page during the War for Southern Independence 1861-1865. We strive to educate the public, honor our ancestors and preserve historical sites and land. While we strive to meet these goals we do this with as much historical accuracy as possible. We are a campaign regiment, which means if they didn't have it, we don't either. We participate in living histories, preservation marches, re-enactments, ceremonies, parades and festivals. While it is not a requirement to be a descendant of the men that were in the original 10th Virginia to join, most of our members are and are from the Shenandoah Valley.
If you are interested in joining the 10th Virginia Infantry please go to our Interested in Joining page.
A Message from our Commander, Patrick Heelen:
The Valley Guards - Tenth Virginia Infantry is a campaigner unit that lives in the field without modern conveniences at events. We primarily focus on quality interpretive programming, historically accurate impressions, historic preservation and proficiency in the field. We're always open to dedicated new recruits who share our desire to accurately and faithfully represent the typical soldier from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia as he would have appeared in The Tenth. All recruits have one year within which to outfit themselves and learn the particulars of unit participation. We are a tight-knit unit, and, as such, selective when it comes to recruiting. We adhere to high standards, and expect our members to do the same. If you're interested in learning more, please come to one of our scheduled events, or contact us here anytime. Deo Vindice!
