    Almost all cannons removed from Jackson's line; they held their color guard ceremony at Jackson's line.

    I did salute the flag, but noted the irony. Then walked quickly in front of the color guard for the bank of protta-potties to take a leak.

    The history was definitely a highlight of living near Richmond. To think that Monument Avenue is gone is sickening. BLM is just BS.

    And Fredericksburg is just north of Richmond. I can see the CRT freaks attempting to bulldoze the confederate cemetery there.

    I will try once to post pics. If they work they work.
    I went to Yorktown's 225th. That was fun. My friend was in the 3rd NJ at the time. The reenacted the storming of redoubts 9 and 10 the afternoon before and that was the best part, IMO. I should check out a Civil War reenactment. Curiously, I never have.

    Saw the post about the absent flags. Lame.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I saw Yorktown once when I was on reserve duty at Ft. Eustis.

    I may post pics. It is a pain in the ass to resize them, so maybe not.
    What's hard about resizing? Try this app, it's the bee's knees. Drag and drop, and automatically creates a separate folder. https://fast-image-resizer.en.softonic.com/

    Outstanding! Enjoy. Yeah. Resizing pics ain't worth the hassle. I will be in Franklin, TN on the 157th Anniversary this November. Been wanting to do that since my first visit there in 2016.
