Training Day, England. Sunday Jan. 20th 2008.
#12

I would love to go to Gettysburg someday. It really gets in my blood after I re-watch the Ken Burn's series. That is still my favorite and oh so stirring. That made me think of THE letter that one of the soldiers writes home to his wife, which is read in full during the documentary. Man, what a tear-jerker. Lee and I can never get through that part. Not only was it moving because of the loving sentiment, but his words were so elegant and eloquent. And of course, he never returns home... :unsure:

 

Warmly,

M1
