just to fill ya in, liz - the "volunteers" represents the Volunteer Corps, used in the military (think civil war era) - ie the 235th Volunteers. They were not professional soldiers - just regular people who joined to fight, generally with just a rifle etc. The movie "The Patriot" is a good example of the role of the Volunteers in battle etc. Tennessee, having a big civil-war background, goes with the Volunteers for this reason. I think.
