While I take the loss of life seriously. I had an opportunity to visit the site in the late 70's and whilst walking around the battlefield, I stumbled across a plaque in the ground.

Inscribed were the words "Custer fell here".

I had to admit that I was not the least bit suprised as I had just tripped over it.

It took me a minute to understand your comment. ;9)

We lived on the edge of the Yorktown battlefield, we have been to Gettysburg, Big Horn & various battlefields across the south. I am always struck by the energy I feel there even tho the sites are quiet & peaceful. May be my overactive imagination.

Ask them to add another line: 'So did ijcr'.

Sorry, couldn't resist
