Veterans Day
I will get back to politics soon, but most of my audience tends to be veterans so the last couple days have been about that.
I went to the Museum at Fort Riley the other day, the United States Cavalry Museum, and it was fun. I had submitted my Great Grand Father's Mother's Uncle's Civil War records to the library there.
So the next stop was to the battlefield he had fought at in New Mexico, the Battle of Glorieta Pass. As a kid when the movie The Good, The Bad and The Ugly was on I used think it was ridiculous that they portrayed a Civil War Battle in New Mexico, then I found out it really happend and then I found out an ancestor of mine, Samuel Newhall Crane, who is buried in the family plot actually fought in it.
The battle site is right off the highway and is privatley owned but the owner has it setup so you can walk around it. I climbed both hills of the site and marveled at how they got up one side because the rocks made it hard to get up. It was a great feeling to actually stand where Sam Crane had fought during the Civil War.
Today is Veterans Day, it is for all who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States.
