I found quite a few interesting ancestors doing my family tree. I have a cousin entombed in the USS Arizona. One distant cousin was an Admiral. I had a lot of ancestors in the revolutionary war through Viet Nam. I had a lack of understanding as to the meaning of Memorial day in the past but now I see things in a much different way. I thank those that made such great sacrifices to our way of life.

I had two Great-Great Grandfathers who served in the G.A.R. during the Civil War.

One of my Great-Great Uncles was Joseph Workman from Wiconisco, Pennsylvania, who enlisted in the 96th Regiment September 23, 1861and reenlisted February 15, 1864. He was wounded in the left leg in a charge on the Rebels at Spotsylvania on May 10, 1864, was taken prisoner and died in Rebel hands June 9, 1864.

My wife has a Great Grandfather who survived the infamous Andersonville POW camp.

Good evening, mountainlion, and a Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours.

We honor your ancestors for their sacrifice for our country.

Are you still getting more snow? We had rain today, with more coming.
