I was fortunate enough to visit the Gettysburg Battle field and to walk the hollowed grounds paid for by the blood of our countrymen to uphold the union or fight for states rights. One can only imagine the individual courage and will to stand shoulder to shoulder in a firing line using outdated Napoleonic tactics designed for weapons which were effect at 100 yds with weapons that were accurate to kill at ½ mile. Their legacy must be protected and their stories told so much individual heroism by those that stood and fought those 3 days from the fight for Seminary Ridge to Pickett’s Charge. I think I need to watch the movie Gettysburg today to honor their memory. I always enjoy watching Ted Turner being cut down in Pickett’s Charge (too bad we can’t get any of the liberals to honor those fighting for our freedoms as I type this, they are always living in the past).
