ANNOUNCEMENT

Friends,
In a few short weeks, this web site will be closing down completely for good.  While it is still available publicly, I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone that has helped support it for the last few years.  I have met many new and exciting people as a result of this web site and will miss hearing from people from all over the world.  I may, in time, decide to build "something new" but that will depend entirely on our current economic situation.  So to all of you who have supported me or visited to learn more about Gettysburg, God Bless and stay safe.

Glenn

My passion for studying the American Civil War first began to blossom decades ago as a result of a weekend trip with my parents to the Gettysburg Battlefield.  Little did I realize as we explored such places as the boulders of Devil's Den, the winding little stream known as Plum Run, or climbed the slopes of the Round Tops, that my life would be forever changed. 

Nearly four decades have passed since that first visit to Gettysburg and the motivation to continually study the field and the tactics used grows stronger as the years march on.  Thus, my main reason for creating this web site is an attempt to share my love for this most precious battlefield and to hopefully inspire  the next generation to study, protect, and defend it.  The ultimate goal is to always honor and admire the men who so bravely fought and died in defense of their beliefs and way of life.  Regardless which color uniform they wore, they were all proud Americans and we can never forget any one of them.

A LONG OVERDUE TRIBUTE

_____________________________________________________


This site is dedicated to honor the brave men and women who have fought, died, and served not only in the Civil War, but all the conflicts this great nation has been involved in.  Without their sacrifices, the United States of America would not possess the values we citizens are blessed with today.  A plain thank you will never express fully the honor you truly deserve!
