Let us never forget the great losses amd great tragedies of wars. Thank you Jack, you bring the past to vibrant life. The sorrows skimming with the swallows even now.
I recently read a collection of letters home and diary of a Union soldier from the NY 123rd volunteer infantry in Washington County. The early naivety was apparent; the somber experience later evident. It is important to remember ... and learn. Thanks for the piece, it's a gem.
I've always felt sad about the tragedy of war and continue to pray that it will stop at some point. A good read Jack about so many years ago that didn't end all that great but will never be forgotten.
