Re: How Many Battlefields Have You Slept On?

Ley,
Along with the tremendous sense of pleasure I take away from this event, I also take with me a certain bit of pride in making it. Mostly though, I feel incrediby grateful to be the recipient of the work that you and others put in to making Glendale such a success. Thank you.

Hmmm, not counting some of the fed and state locales, some others come to mind....

- Sap approach of the 37th Ill. Vol. Regt. at Fort Blakely, AL

- Shaifer (sp?) House outside of Port Gibson, MS

- Belmont, MO

- Near the visitor center bathroom at Kennesaw Mountain, GA :(

- Briefly, at the marker where 81st Ill. Vol. Regt. colonel got pegged during the assault on the La. Redan at Vicksburg, MS (there was a thunderstorm approaching)

More to come?
