Experiencing History

My company, PeopleMatter, is unique in so many ways -from the people to the products to the culture. This is the first time I've experienced such an energizing environment where everyone loves coming to work everyday!

We celebrate things regularly. It is core to who we are. Our celebrations are not productions, like other companies. Our celebrations are a natural, fluid process of our daily work-life. 

One way we celebrate is by firing a civil war cannon near our office. The noise is incredible. But the experience and history behind it is even more fascinating.

I took some photos and video clips so you could experience it, too. Civil War Reenactor Keith Burdy provides some great historical information to set the stage. Check 'em out and let me know what you think.

Disclaimer: Please do not try this at home. This is for trained professionals only. No one has ever been harmed (during the 21st century) in the firing of this cannon. City officials, fire department, etc. are always notified before the event.
