Sam's first quote on the 12/6/03 thread:

'Unless we fail in our objective -- this thread is designed to stir your emotions and memories and to bring out the patriotism in you.'

-- SAMWolf, US Army Veteran

Both of you thank you for your undying support to the troops and veterans. And for keeping them memories of those that have sacrificed for this country alive. You are both true patriots. A salute to you both!

[Humal]

Aw, you guys, I'm going to miss your threads. They have entertained and educated me; the first thing I looked for in the morning when I turn on the computer. I've bookmarked so many in my "History" & "Confederate History" files, they look like Free Republic files instead, and I've used many of your articles for our historical programs at U.D.C. meetings. You helped me so much to find information on my father's service -- more than I could from the Veteran's Administration (their files had burned), and even led me to find a relative buried at Camp Chase, Ohio. Three generations of genealogists didn't know he had taken his step-father's name during The War. It was wonderful sharing the flags in our church with you. It brought pride to my heart and tears to my eyes to see them so beautifully displayed, then to be able to share the experience with like minded friends made it even more wonderful.

Thanks for all of your work. I'll get motivated and finish the index and re-post it. Perhaps you all could be encouraged to do a weekly thread to keep things going. And I still owe you all the background work for the 'greatest battles'.

Sorry to see you go, thanks for all the memories and very informative topics. Take care and God Bless.
