Gettysburg Fact: More casualties took place in one wheat field in Gettysburg, than across all five beaches on D-Day.

Tonight Deb and I walk through the Gettysburg cemetery at night. First of all i do not believe in ghost or things like that. BUT there were two large statues of men on horseback in a way they were guarding the cemetery on top of a hill. We stood there for some time and stared at them and the surrounding landscape. I saluted the one and thanked them. He turned his head and looked back at us. It appeared that his upper torso slanted back as though he was speeding up his gallop. I did the same to the other and his one arm moved up as to return the salute. It was awesome and we both saw it and YES we were SOBER... Thanks Ken Ramey Weitzel for telling us about the cemetery..

" Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

A real speech from a real statesman and patriot. He even said the words "...nation, under God...".

Any words for our Honored dead in Bengozi? A much smaller battle in a war with a foggier goal in a different century, but they are honored dead Americans none the less. Where are the words?

Oh, and when it came to the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln actually believed the words he spoke.

Do our people in power ever believe anything they say in public today?

Bought dog food. Big cans of Alpo were on sale. Dogs ate filet mignon-flavored (how do they know?). Saw Jake Westbrook and started to recite the Gettysburg Address in public. Went across the street and I ate a chicken pot pie.

Sunday morning on CBS this morning made me cry. Not that its hard to do but it was unexpected. the piece on a teacher who had his students act our the battle at Gettysburg battle. The dressed in uniform, were given ranks and wooden guns, had tents set up and did this for 3 days every year. When they marched into battle, he tapped some kids and they fell to the ground, he had them stop, turn and look to see their fallen classmates, if this had been a real battle they would be dead. the elementary school kids got it. War kills people. WOW this teacher made an impact that they will never forget. I am impressed and it made me cry to see a 3rd grade girl moved at the thought of losing friends in this make believe battle. Kids will be our saving grace.

Good Evening,

Today is Monday April 8, 2013 and we were in Gettysburg and Lancaster County visiting the Amish. It was a beautiful sunny day about 70 degrees, just overall a perfect day! We had great weather great laughs and a lot of fun. This is a wonderful group… Tomorrow we start at the Rocky Steps and then go into Philadelphia and from there head down to Washington DC. The weather in DC is showing 75-80 degrees down there we will be wearing shorts!

Have a great night,
