: : This is probably the first time in the history of the MLHH that
: : there is an avatar with a Civil War uniform. Very nice.
: : The picture of you in the cemetery says a lot.
One thing I would also mention is that in this avatar photo we
are honoring seven unknown soldiers from the civil war. Their
remains were found a few years ago in Virginia when they
were building a new McDonalds. There are folks who think they
know who the soldiers are but they're not positive.
So on Memorial day we honor all that are buried at the national
cemetery and then have a second ceremony for the unknown soldiers.
Back in the 1960s, if you had told this long haired hippie that
he would be active in a civil war group I would have thought you
were crazy. Yet that is the reality today. All these years later my hair is still long, and i'm noticing that as time goes
on we are getting more men with long hair.
I've also noticed that a number of friends who are veterans are letting their hair grow long.
