July 3 - Gettysburg. 144 years ago today.

IMHO, I have been to Vicksburg, Gettysburg, and the Arizona Memorial. I love miltary history. I have to say that the Arizona made my eyes tear. Ironically, we were the only Americans on that tour boat at that time. All the rest were Japanese or Koreans. I also teer up when I go to the Vietnam Memorial. I went there on a filed trip with about 80 8th graders, and I cried a bit. They freaked out. I had to tell them that I had friends wounded and changed for life during that war.
