Ranger talks that usually draw 50 people now have 500 people attending. Warms my heart. Walking Picketts charge was one of the most moving moments of my life.

 

That is good to hear. I worry that WWII is fading into the distance as far as the US Memory goes. If there can be a surge in interest of the Civil War (albeit of its most famous battle) then there is at least a glimmer of hope.
