Time was, I thought The Guardian was a commie rag. Maybe it was. Now, it’s about the only newspaper that matters.

I think we can rest assured that during that anniversary celebration, no speaker got up and tried making sick analogies about faggotry.

George Armstrong Custer hosted a reunion in Monroe Michigan for men who fought in the battle of the River Raisin (Battle of Frenchtown) during the war of 1812.

In the mid to late 1950s. I remember hearing about the last few Civil War veterans passing. These were the drummer boys etc who were the youngest.

When the country went to war against Democrats. How ironic that we may have to once again.

It must have been a great honor and privilege to be one of the Scouts that escorted the Civil War veterans. Also, photo of the veteran carrying his cot. Many times I slept on exactly the same style of cot, hasn't changed a bit.

Especially touching was the closeup photo of the Confederate and Union vets seated, shaking hands, the arm of one over the shoulder of the other.

What amazes me is, based on the tone of this article, how the Socialist Brits at the Manchester Guardian have more genuine affection for the United States and its people and history than do any of our journalists.

Very strange situation indeed.

Incredible pix, and thanks for posting. I see that once again we have to go to the British for material that does not shunt this history aside in favor of gay marriage.

I will say this once and depart from the thread. The antics of historical revisionists on both sides are profoundly disrespectful of these men and the sacrifices they made.
