Popular Post 1958 F.W.D. Posted July 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2019 Large, Medium and myself are all Civil War buffs, and we try to get to Gettysburg every few years. We make a long weekend out of it and camp out at Artillery Ridge Campground, which is only within a 1/2 mile of Union line and the 20th Maine's position on Little Round Top. It's a religious experience for all three of us, you really can't understand unless you are there. You can feel the spirit of those who fought and died there. If anyone ever wants to go, I highly recommend the book "The Maps of Gettysburg" which contains carefully researched time lines, maps and analysis of every skirmish of every day of the three campaign. It is an incredible asset to have with you while driving the National Park Service's self-guided tour. Day 1: Buford's Cavalry and Reynold's 1st and 11th Corps tangle with Heth, Rodes and Ewell north of town near the Lutheran Seminary The 11th Mississippi's Monument on Seminary Ridge The two sides of the Tennessee monument on Seminary Ridge The North Carolina Monument and Statue along Seminary Ridge 7 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they haven’t succeeded. The men those monuments represent wouldn’t have let themselves be lead around by a hog ring like the historical revisionists get away with now. Was at the 4th of July parade this year and a tourist started going off and yelling about a rebel flag being flown in our towns parade. He was offended and had to make a scene on the street. Was nice to see the city cop walk over, shut his volume off and offer him a ride in the squad. Out on the fringe no one cares about these jokers or about the lame-o Wisconsinite(?) in the parade who watched too many Dukes of Hazzard reruns and bought a confederate flag.

I was thinking the EXACT same thing as I was reading Yardo's post. Then I scrolled down and saw this. Perfect. Mack Tech, agree. Seems the wacko's aren't everywhere(yet). We don't have issues in my town for the most part. People mind their P's/Q's and go on with life. I have not seen anything on local news about protesting. Save the day when it happens! 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
