    After the war, did the North Carolinians argue with the Virginians saying that NC got farther into the Union lines on Day 3 than the Virginians at The Angle?

    I had a 2d GGF who was in the 38th GA VIR, part of Gordon's Brigade. The Georgians formed up in the farm lane of the Benner farm. You can see evidence of the lane and there is a marker although the farm house is no longer there. The trees at the creek blocked the view of the federals on the knoll. There was also a fence line on the knoll side of the creek forcing the confederates to negotiate it after scrambling up the far creek bank. The commander of the 38thGVIR was killed climbing over that fence. My GGF was also killed that afternoon. I don't know where but it seems that the assault on the knoll was the most likely place, although he could have died anywhere between the knoll and the the alms house or perhaps later as the confederates moved from the alms house into the town itself. I don't know what happened to the confederate dead from the fight at Barlow's Knoll. If anyone can shed any light on that questions I would be very appreciative.

    Nothing against the heroes of the 24th Michigan, but the presenters neglected to mention the 2nd, 6th and 7th Wisconsin regiments and the 19th Indiana. All 5 regiments made heroic sacrifices toward the victory at Gettysburg. They were all appropriately labeled “Born Killers” and “Black Hat Devils”.

    I watched the 2nd inauguration of President Eisenhower in January 1956 on the first color TV in the small country town where I grew up. A man of integrity and class. This video was very informative and interesting to me. My Dad and Uncle both served in the US Army during WW II earning the ranks of Master Sergeant and Colonel respectively. The only comment would be to ask folks to STOP referring to WW II, Korea, and Vietnam as “conflicts”. They were WARS in every way. Thank you.

    Back in June 1994, I was in an Army Reserve Military History Detachment (MHD). Smallest unit in the Army inventory. Three people. I was the NCO. The commander was a major and our clerk a Specialist. And 30 years later, we still keep in touch with one another. We were part of the 50th Anniversary of D-Day. We spent two weeks in France. And then we spent two days in Paris at ceremonies honoring the vets. Sadly, at the writing of this, less than 160,000 American vets of WWII are still living. We met the man who jumped, waded, and some came in WACO gliders into Normandy. Been by the Eisenhower home, but didn't go tour it. I had family on both sides of the Civil War. Two were captured at Gettysburg. One in Hood's on the CSA side. One in the Ohio 7th. Johnny Reb was wounded, lost his arm, and was sent to Ft. Delaware as a POW. Blue Belly was sadly sent to Andersonville POW camp. He did not survive Andersonville. I have visited both their graves and paid my respects. I have tough, visited Ike's birth place.

    Years ago my wife and I visited the Eisenhower home. Was soon as we walked in the door, we turned to the left into the living room and both commented: “yep, you can tell this is the hiokme of a retired general officer”. A very, very nice place but nothing grand. The rest of the house reflected the personality of the Eisenhowers. The dinner table just outside the small kitchen reminded me that he liked to cook, he being the helper of his mother in the small house in Abilene. KS. The small desk by the door leading out of the house toward the barn. reminded me of George Washington’s office at Mount Vernon. The two men would have got along well. I think.
