Good Morning Jen.

My family moved to Dover (Fort Donelson) after my Dad retired from the USAF. I've been there many times. It is a well maintained battlefield site. The old batteries overlooking the Cumberland River are still there and look much the same as they did in 1862. The defensive revetments are also still intact for the most part. The USPS also conducts a living history on site depicting Confederate soldiers living in small log huts authentic to the times and demonstrating their weapons and way of life. A great place to visit if you happen to be in the area. The Surrender House is located in the town of Dover, about two blocks east of the main square.

"House of the Vile Clinton"
(To be sung to Bob Dylan's acoustic version of "House of the Risin' Sun")

In our White House down in ol' DeeCee...
There lived the Vile Clinton!!
And he's been the hero of many Lib'rals...
But Slick's a bag o' scum!!

Bill Clinton is a TRAITOR...
He sold our nukes fer cheap!!
Our FReedoms are endangered, folks...
'Cuz good Sheeple sleep!!

Now, good folks, the thing Slick Willie needs...
Is fer his TREASON to be judged!!
'Cuz the only way we'll stop his lyin'...
Is when we string him up!!

Slick killed them lasses down in Texas...
He torched that Waco Compound!!
Folks, the only pleasure Bill gets outta life...
Is when he's Abusin' his Power!!

I tell ya, Nation, listen...
We gotta do what must be done!!
Must show the Powers in ol' DeeCee...
That Justice is fer everyone!!

Folks, it's time to take on that Whore!!
Yes, we must remove his stain!!
We're marchin' back to ol' DeeCee...
Let's put that boy in chains!!

We're a'marchin' back to ol' DeeCee...
Slick's place is in Prison!!
We're goin' back to force Congress...
To Re-Impeach Clinton!!

It's our White House in ol' DeeCee...
We shan't condone TREASON!!
Must sing this tune of Justice, dear Lord...
Yes, we'll DETHRONE CLINTON!!!!

I spent 2 weeks on vacation in the Land Between the Lakes and visted both sites. I found it very interesting and at first was surprised because I was expecting a "Fort" and not the large earthen birms that were there. It was my first education into Civil War fortifications.

Military jargon trivia alert:

Everybody has heard of WACS, SPARS, and WAVS and such. Anybody know what WANDS stands for???

[Mortimer Snavely]

Unconditional Surrender Bump!

Wide Area Neutralization Device (A big bomb?)

[Bitwhacker]

Thanks. I don't know what WANDS stands for, it may have been made up. Somebody mentioned it had to do with Women in the military, but I have never heard of it before...

[SAMWolf]

LOL! I don't know if my answer is right either. I never heard of Wands either. Let me see what I can find.

[stainlessbanner]

Bump!

[Bitwhacker]

Well...all I found was a liberal-left, Marion Wright-Edelman limp-wrister, sop-sister, 'anti-violence' org...but I don't think that was the intended meaning, at least I hope not...;-)

[SAMWolf]

I can't find any use of "Wands" as a Military ancronym

[larryjohnson]

Tuning back in after 2 weeks on the road and your's is my most recent ping. Thank you. I followed the war news in the old couch potato way,evening and morning tv news.
