Folks, I would like for all you to remember all of those that have made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve and to protect this great country. Take the time to remember those so many years ago who made that sacrifice, no matter which side of the line they served on. I have never walked a battlefield, and not think about the blood under my feet. And I never forget that between 1864 when Gen Grant took over to 1865 of all the young men between 17 and 21 that payed the ultimate sacrifice. Let us all honor these men, and visit a cemetery and leave a flower. I would like also to make a comment about soldiers who deserted. We look upon desertion as a bad thing. However what would we do if we had to do as Picketts men did at Gettysburg. Or what Union men had to do at Fredericksburg. I spent 26 years in the military and have been in war, but no war like the civil war, until you walk in somebodies elses shoes, we shouldn't judge their actions. For all those men who payed the ultimate sacrifice let me say "Thank You and May you Rest In Peace" Ted
