This July will be the 150th anniversary of the battle. As we rode onto the battlefield one of the riders who was playing a CD was told to turn it off. This is scared ground. My thoughts were about how this strange, misshapen piece of land came to define the United States of America. This is another face of America. Driving home I think of my favorite passage in the Gettysburg Address:
"The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here."
