I used to live within walking distance of the battlefield, and was on the field Oct 19,1996 for the 200th. You talk about a back of the neck hair raising event----- boy I don't think it will ever be repeated. (but I hope so) I am constantly mistified by the lack of knowledge (espically in the west) of what happened (historically) in NY,NJ,PN,and VA to sequire our freedom and independance. I had two G,G,G,G,G, Grand paws fight with Gen. GW at the first battle of the RW in NY, and have always wondered if they knew each other. Sorry for the long winded post ,,,, but I am a patriate and vet and proud of it and not sorry for that.
