Hey, everyone. While Tracy was away on a trip visiting family, Rich traveled to see his parents in Pennsylvania. He decided that as long as he was east of the Mississippi, he’d go to some battlefields. He shot some video at each battlefield- Gettysburg, Antietam, Chickamauga, and Shiloh- and those videos are up on youtube. Here’s the link to watch the videos (just click on it)…
