Gettysburg remains the bloodiest battle ever fought in the western hemisphere and Antietam remains the single bloodiest day in American history. Both are about 45 minutes from where I live.

It is a shame.....I have not been there. I should plan for next year.

The civil war and the giant struggle between Germany and Russia in WW11 have always intrigued me.

Here are some reenactors. I guess they need a time machine.
