I was watching FOX news this morning. They had a Historian on, I don't remember his name. He said a couple things that I felt are worth repeating.
1. Gettysburg was the 1st National Cemetery and it was made that way by President Lincoln.
2. Read the Gettysburg address, clik here. It took President Lincoln 2 minutes to read it. Clik on the link, it's worth the 2 minutes and more. It was on point then, it's on point for today.
3. It's not about family barbecues, It's about the fallen Warriors who for the past 200+ years have given their lives for us.
Thank you

AD,
You got my em response (lol) now you have forced me to check further in to my past. I hope I don't come up with any horse thieves. Having said that I do know we have one preacher and one that ran the local uh....uh....road house in the olden days. I'll just leave it at that.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks retrospectively to all those Middlebrooks. I really enjoy my FREEDOM!!!
