I remember seeing the sign for that. It’s been years since I’ve been that way. I used to go to Gettysburg several times a year. I was into the Civil War for a long time. Gettysburg and Antietam were two of my favorite battlefields. The Democrats passed a bill in July that contains provisions to remove all the Confederate monuments, plaques, statues, etc., from the battlefields. The Senate hasn’t done anything with it, so hopefully it will die, along with the Democrats on November 3rd.

I took our Boy Scout Troop to the Gettysburg Battlefield many years ago. We camped out on the Battlefield and had a parent, an attorney history buff who was a certified Battlefield Guide lead us on our daily hikes with full detailed history of the events.

It was very interesting for me as there were many stuck wounded souls.

I've gone up that way at least a hundred times, since I now reside in Delaware, but Western New York State's Souther Tier is my birthplace, and where all my relatives live.

I can tell you almost every foot of the way, from Wilmington, DE to Lancaster, PA, then up the east side of the Susquehanna just before Harrisburg, crossing over to the west side from 322 onto Rte 15 at Clark's Ferry, then up to Selinsgrove. Used to stop for a steak there, then north on 15 again to the bluff overlooking Williamsport, take 10 for the view, then down past the Little League Center and back across to the east side at Williamsport, up north to Mansfield, the over either to Wellsboro or on up to Tioga, then across the Chemung at Corning and on to 17 in New York State over to Steuben and Allegany Counties. That's a long drive, my FRiends.

When I was a kid, we used to get the Grit newspaper, came from Williamsport.

Well, they are just so stupid aren’t they? Removing all confederate monument from the battlefields, so what, people would think it was a one sided war? Oh, and btw Dems, that was YOUR SIDE!
