And the final year we will have to hear Obama claim credit for it and make it all about himself.
Gettysburg should be on everyone’s bucket list. Yes, there’s a lot of tacky tourist trap-isms, but overall it’s a fantastic and educational experience, and definitely one of the finer National Park Service efforts.
I love Gettysburg. In fact, I love that whole area. Mr. Mercat and I went to Gettysburg for two days, one day in Harper’s Ferry area, an hour at Antietam (they closed).... very moving all. I want to go back to Gettysburg and take a tour but we did get a lot of info since there are a lot of people there who know tons and talk about it wherever you go. And we sort of followed a couple of the tours some. One of my favorite places was the little farm house that was General Meade’s headquarters. They actually used it in the movie. And Little Round Top was amazing.
Antietam is good also. Farther off the beaten path plus I am convinced it is haunted.
Barky had the good sense to skip it three years ago on the 150th anniv. Question, what will he do in 18 days on 7 December. The 75th anniv if the Day of Infamy?
I would imagine if the guy Bill O’Reilly has interviewing people on the street would ask, “Who was Abraham Lincoln?”, there would be more than one no knowing.
My apologies, you beat me to it!

The proliferation of PP presentations by junior officers caused a bandwidth crisis in the military 10-15 years ago.
Hence, this.
And we had John Wilkes Booth to thank us for today’s current mess.
True. In some of my comments on Facebook I said there had not been such a fuss after an election since 1860. That was probably too subtle.
No wonder he started it off with, “Fourrrrr Scourrrrrrrrrre...”
There are many places in the United States that leave me in awe and wonder, feeling the weight of their majesty and, in many cases, their history.
Among them, NONE are so moving for me as Gettysburg. Many years after my military service, I walked Gettysburg and felt the presence of all who fought there, died there. I was so very, very moved; to my very soul. Even writing this, I am humbled, nearly to tears.
And, THAT is the essence of this grand experiment, just as Lincoln so eloquently spoke, those many years ago.
We simply must NOT let this nation die at the hands of the liberal progressive claptrap that has brought us so perilously close to the precipice of disaster.
Hippocrit monster that claimed to be for the Union but was nothing more than a globalist- nothing but a tool for the industrialists.
Exactly. Did the research a few years back and arrived at that spot between two markers.
