The 1st, "Greatest Generation"

"The Civil War" or our "War Between the States" has always been a part of me since the first time I learned of it and began to study and read. I am less than an hour and a half from Shiloh Battlefield and have been there many times. I caught this video on another Blog and was mesmerized by the faces of the actual survivors of Gettysburg walking and talking with each other. I have never seen any film before of men still alive that fought the War, ghostly and haunting, my soul was sad for them as they surely were haunted too by being back there on the very ground 50 years later. I don't believe even 50  years would dim the memory of what they saw and felt in those hours that so many lots were cast and so many souls breathed their last.
