In 1998 I began a campaign to secure the medal of honor for 1st Lieutenant Alonzo H. Cushing - commander Battery A, 4th U.S. artillery - who on July 3rd, 1863, gallantly, selflessly gave up his life on the field at Gettysburg opposing Picketts charge. This honor posthumously was awarded on November 6th, 2014! My son Brad in 2000 wanted to be Winfield Scott Hancock for Halloween, at the time was only four! I am a 100% percent disabled, combat veteran on the ropes, with failing health, with but the setting sun on my horizon. Lima Battery, 4th Battalion, 11th Marines, Hill 54, Vietnam, 1966-67. Yes, served in artillery myself, and seek some form of recognition for my participation in honoring the gallant Lieutenant Cushing, if someone might come forth and speak with me. In early summer (1863), one hundred sixty thousand fighting men descended on this sleepy Pennsylvania hamlet, In three, horrific days there were 51,000 casualties, "all of them Americans." I had and have enormous reverence for combatants on both sides, and pray that all who served, fought, perished on this "hallowed ground" may have found peace! May the Good Lord bless! Richard Kane (978) 400 7057. "Faithful unto death!"
Artillery isn't known as "The King of Battle" for nothing. You "Red Legs" earn your keep and then some!
"Those people are Steelers' fans"... 😆
🤣
Love hearing Deb. She gives me "aunty" vibes
She’s one of the best
They always talk about Gettysburg Gettysburg Gettysburg when Virginia has more history in the pink of its finger then Gettysburg and his whole body
True, BUT, you haven’t started your own Virginia podcast yet. Show us how it’s done!
I'm working on it
🔥Lee was not a "great" general. Grant was a great general. Three Confederate armies surrendered to Grant: Fort Donalson in February, 1862, Vicksburg in July, 1863, and Appomattox in April, 1865. How many USA armies surrendered to Lee? Zero!! Please stop perpetuating the Confederate myth that somehow a loser like Lee was a "great" general. Even Lee knew he was not great. Lee offered to resign his position as leader of the Army of Northern Virginia after getting the hell beat out of him at Gettysburg. Lee was defeated by USA General George Meade who had been in command of the Army of the Potomac less than a week as of July 1, 1863.
Until he was bested by a better general, he was considered great.
Take a step back there, chief. Go back, compose yourself, do some homework, and then come back and join polite society. Your information is all incorrect. You are all over the map with insult and double talk, and on the whole, you are fishing for something to get emotional about.
@@manofaction1807 Appamaddox in 1863 tells me all I needed to know
@@MM-qi5mk What are you on about? I tell this other guy to take a step back and keep it civil, and it comes in from the Peanut Gallery... SMH
If Appamaddox, in 1863 is all you need to know- Your best bet is to go back to your local community college and get your money back.
It's spelled Appomattox, and the end of the campaign was in April of 1865.
Run along, chief, and thanks for playing. Your consolation prize is your self respect.
