    This is rather incredible monument and tribute. I think feelings ran high in Connecticut!

    But it's never over. When I joined the Navy (in the 50s) there were sons of the South in boot camp that were still fighting the Civil War! As people do yet today!

    I do believe that 'war' still goes on. Do they really think it'll RISE again?

    Quite a memorial. I do wish Lowell and Birdman weren't right.

    Now that's odd: royal. It was the Battle Hymn of the Republic, The United and Confederate States.
