HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — One student marveled at the size of the jawbreaker, a mainstay of candy stores and Civil War soldiers’ rations bags alike.“Can I eat it?” the student asked the man dressed as a Confederate soldier.“I’ve probably had that thing so long, I wouldn’t eat it!” Civil War reenactor Buddy Miller said. “I’ve probably had that thing longer than you’ve been alive.”Reenactors from across Maryland came to Bester Elementary School in Hagerstown recently to close out the fifth-grade class’ unit on the Civil War, priming them for a trip to one of the war’s bloodiest battlefields just a few miles south at Antietam.Throughout the day, around 60 students in four groups walked through stations in the school’s courtyard, greeted by Union and Confederate soldiers, grocers and volunteers, all to bring the textbooks to life.How do reenactors bring history to life?Miller, 67, showcased the standard Confederate soldier uniform, loading one student up with everything from the holster to...

HIROSHIMA, Japan — No one fears a repeat of this city’s suffering more than Volodymyr Zelenskyy.From the moment the world’s most recognizable president-in-uniform walked down the stairs from the Republique Française plane at the Hiroshima airport on Saturday, the Ukrainian leader soon captured all the attention at the G7 summit — downsized from G8 almost a decade ago after Russia was kicked out following its illegal occupation of Crimea.Zelenskyy toured the site where an American atomic bomb put an end to the Second World War in 1945, as his people were fighting on the frontline in Ukraine, preparing for an offensive against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invading forces while fighting back Moscow’s claims that the key Ukrainian city of Bakhmut had fallen.His surprise, whirlwind visit carried a sense of urgency in contrast to the somewhat relaxing schedule for the G7 leaders, some of whom took their spouses on the mission, enjoyed tea ceremonies and visit...
