Thanks for personal connections.
It seemed in Homer's WWII threads that many, if not most, drew responses from people with personal connections -- their Dads, Uncles, grandparents, etc. -- who were there and experienced something about it.
My guess is the Civil War will also draw personal responses, though probably not so many, making each one all the more valuable.
Thanks again!
Well, the distance between us and those who were there is certainly greater.
Certainly none of us knew any of the participants.
Although, some of us old fogies did know a few of the children of Civil War veterans, when they were very old, and we were very young.
And now that I think about it, we had actual participants join us on the WW II threads.
Don’t think that will happen this time!
