If you go to the Gettysburg battlefield and have seen the movie "Gettysburg", you get a true understanding of what soldiers went through and the sacrifices that all soldiers make. Too many people take what we have in this country for granted.<br /><br />When you go to a National Park like Zion and sit on top of the mountain ridge looking down in the valley you really think about why man exist and get a sense of how small we really are in the mist of things. All the things that we hold dear in our materialist world becomes unimportant.Domino Interfacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691103099491985535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156796918421571576.post-53993000865288246012009-09-30T10:53:03.002-06:002009-09-30T10:53:03.002-06:00Another fantastic documentary from Ken Burns.

Hopefully, it will motivate people to "See America First." :-) One of my Twitter followers will have her pictures of Cuyahoga Valley Nationsl Park shown on our local PBS station:<br /><br />http://www.wviz.org/park/<br /><br />And click on Stephanie Jansky.<br /><br />While we have visited quite a few of the same sites as you, none of them were as powerful as when we visited Manassas National Battlefield. I don't know what it is about Civil War battlefields, but they really resonate with my kids.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17713381918544887565noreply@blogger.com
