Damn, I love to see patriotism and appreciation of history like this on display. Went to the Bennington, VT monument last month. I can’t get enough of it.

THE PATRIOT starring Mel Gibson, the fall of charleston is a prominent part of the story.

We visited Ft. Moultrie on Sullivan Island back in 2002. Well worth the visit .. anyone driving the New England/Florida corridor might want to take a side trip to see the fort and the beautiful city of Charleston.

If congress and the president had their way, they would nullify these patriot’s lives.

Moultrie and his group of about 400 men battled from a fort made of sand and palmetto logs on Sullivans Island.

Who could ever forget the heroics of men like Sergeant Jasper? Truly this was a battle that is deservedly commemorated on South Carolina's flag:

Happy to see AM REV WAR get another commemoration. Far too few for this war, vastly more important than the too-popular Civil War.
