Very interesting look back on history.

Hopeful and uplifting. Sad and horrifying. All rolled into one.

Old enemies can meet as friends.

My brother served in Vietnam. Six years ago he was living in Thailand, and took a trip to Cam Rahn Bay, where he spent the majority of his time in country. He went with a Thai man who was also a veteran. They met with a few former Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers.

He says that all agreed that the war was long over, and nobody really won, that the North simply outlasted USA. There was no longer any need to be enemies, few in Vietnam are angry or bitter any longer.

Thank you, it ain’t barbecues and party, it time to remember the fallen.

I had two great-great GFers who were at Gettysburg.
One with the 29th Pennsylvania Volunteers and the other with the 18th Independent Battery, New York Light Artillery.
One hundred years later, I too was an artilleryman - in combat.

That was truly fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

Could be one or two Civil War brides left.

The most profound comment regarding the Civil War was Shelby Floyd’s the Civil War made the United States an “is” rather than an “are”.

I’m sure the left will want all such footage destroyed some day
