Interesting topic, Snippy. Not something I ever went through but heard lots of stories about.
Good Night, Snippy

Good morning, SAM.
My parent's are currently in Mississippi touring the Vicksburg battlefield, and when I talked to my Dad tonight he told me that he had the privilege of standing on the very spot where General Grant oversaw a portion of the siege from a Union field tent. He described how it moved him--it gave him those historical "goosebumps" all of us aficionado's of the past feel at such moments. The study of duty & devotion to a cause always seems to come back to those intangible moments of clarity in such hallowed places; I was reminded of the recent reports on the tours of the Antietam battlefield y'all posted here in the FReeper Foxhole.
For all you and snippy do in this regard--reminding us all of our national historical identity--allow me to again say: Thank-you.
