My son is a re-enactor here in Washington state. He is back at Gettysburg with some of his fellows performing as a member of the 7th Tennessee, Company C (he has ancestors on my side of the family from the Volunteer State.) His unit will be taking part in the re-enactment of Pickett's Charge, probably the final high water mark for the Confederacy in the Civil War. He is also there because an ancestor on his Mom's side died there with one of the Pennsylvania units. Lots of careers and names were made there (Chamberlain) and lost there (Lee.) Many lives were lost and we should never forget that, as well.
