I would like to thank some people:

My wife and family for support, students for keeping me on my toes, education colleagues for always inspiring me, Andre W for putting the bug in my mind several years ago, fellow medical reenactors/historians, those serving in the military, medical professionals for helping keep us healthy and safe, and the Civil War Digital Digest and 11th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry for paving the way for a format I like.
