You are a cold, insensitive person Poppa San...Great day for beer, brats, broads, and booms. Just live for the public display of summer attire and beach wear exhibited by the "finer" specimens of the female gender.
Bill, for what it's worth, I know a fine Southern US lady who still refers to our Civil War as "those recent unpleasantries" , says that everytime I remind her that the South didn't win.
Out of interest, what state did they fight for ?? I used to be a member of a re-enactment group here in the U.K.Some of my ancestors shot some damn Yankees though.

I was a member of the "Iron Brigade"
And so you should. I`m proud of my ancestors although I don`t know if any fought in Revolutionary war. All joking apart, and it was long agoActually, I can't find any direct ancestors who fought for the South. I was pulling Weeds leg. I live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and people in this area mostly fought southern though this area was split in their loyalties.
Now my great-great-great-great Grandfather did fight against the British in the Revolutionary War. He was in the 8th Virginia Militia. I saw first hand the original flag he marched under and of course have pictures. It gave me goose bumps and made me teary eyed to stand in front of that flag. He was involved in the battles of Monmouth, Brandywine and Trenton. He also spent the winter at Valley Forge. I'm very proud of him and to be a direct ancestor.
