BTW, on a beautiful October day in 1971, I spent all of it walking around and studying the Yorktown Battlefield.
Interesting, that much of the peninsula still has trenches from the time of the American Revolution and from the Civil War.
A few years back, a friend of mine died; he was 101 years old. Just prior, he had been telling me of his being an "LT" in the U.S. Army during World War I, Field Artillery.
They set up camp on the peninsula and conducted fire training; the target areas being west of Yorktown and Williamsburg, west to the James River.
As you probably have seen from the old fencing around many pine-wooded areas, tremendous encampments have existed all around the area.
I was fascinated by it all.
This was a report to Congress from Wolfowitz, it would have to be recorded there as well. The subject is not going away.
The subject is still captured here in the Miami Herald.
