You were one of the lucky that witnessed the end of an important historical Group > I have posted before about my Grandfather that fought at the 2nd Battle of Bull Run & was captured there by the Rebels. I was born in his home at Ogdin WVA & remember him when he passed away . He entered the Union Army 1861 & served thru 1865. It was still Virgina when he entered and became West Virginia in 1863 for when he returned. He was in the Cavalry & had a Blacksmith shop by his home when he returned. I recently took my son & his son back to VA where we visited the New Marine Musuem, the Battle Grounds at Manassas where Grandad fought & where I lived 1950 while stationed at Quantico in HMX-1. We than visited Gettysburgh & than back to the old farms back in West VA where I grew up. On our return to Califoria we visited the Carrier Hornet Moored at Alameda. Good to have history viewed by all generations !! Hard trip for me after 87 years but wello worth it .
