[Just A Nobody]

You probably know where Eric was, don't you? :)

Yes, and what he was training for. ;*) My neighbor, a retired Major, took me on a tour and explained what happens there. Plus, I talk to a lot of the troops. I can't leave my house without seeing some troops and I always walk up to them and thank them. ;*)

We travel ALL over the country A LOT.........

So did I, full time, for two full years until settling here for troop support/political reasons.

and it was like taking everyone else's morons and multiplying them at least a hundred fold.

Okay, this time you had me ROTFLOL for real. It is so sad, but so very true. Good thing it's too hot to have the windows open! ;*)

Eric had done his AIT training there several years ago, and he was running at dawn and saw one of the batteries at the battlefield. He had no idea they were so close, and he freaked out because he's been a Civil War buff since he was about 8 years old.

We went to his graduation (Distinguished Honor Grad!), and toured the battlefield, and last weekend, we just happened to be visiting our other son who's in DC now, and took him down and we all toured it again together. (Elder son is also a Civil War fanatic).

Cool stuff..........and a very interesting battlefield.
