See, this is a great reason to visit you, you always share such fascinating little tidbits. Can you imagine living through that time, it must have been so scary and uncertain facing the thought of war in your homeland, against fellow countrymen, friends and family. I finally added my name to your giveaway post, it took me a while to pick a #! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI will never forget the visit to Gettysburg for me. I was 14 years old & had read much about the Civil War. It was chilling to be there where so much history took place.
ReplyDeleteHave a Wonderful Evening!
Hugs,
Marilyn
Thanks for the reminder Marydon! We went up in the Tower in Gettysburg ( the one that overlooked the cemetery) That was an awesome view! It was so old they tore it down.. Haven't been back there in awhile. That place is sooo full of History!! Love it!
