My father loved the history of the Civil War, I think it started with the old man down the street from him who was a Civil War Veteran. He showed my father his old rifle which he kept in a trunk, which made him a huge hero to a little boy. That little boy became the only one of four brothers to join the military when older and serve in his war. Citizenship is contagious and while some never get it, whenever the old guys from any war walk with pride somebody gets it.
