Today I visited a Civil War reenactment in Luray, Va. My son loves participating in these events. He says it's about  the brotherhood and reliving the period . He takes the time to represent one of the most trying times in our nation's history. There is a special bond between these folks (Union, Confederate, black, white, men or women) and I believe there are much worse things my child could be doing than living history events. On this important day of 9-11, one must remember the sacrifices our soldiers make past and present. No matter what side of the political fence you stand, right or wrong, our young men and women in uniform are the bravest in the world. They are sacrificing their blood! Winners or losers...we are American!
