Speaking of Gettysburg; 30 years ago I was a National Park Ranger there and we never heard anything at all about ghosts--that's all a new thing--except for Iverson's Pits. Even then, the patroling rangers would report strange things there. My area was the south end of the field and I would be there at all times...but I too never saw a thing (dammit!).

I'd rather be historically accurate than politically correct. |

| Well, you've certainly burst my bubble! I've heard so many stories of Federal and Southern soldiers meeting on the fields, marching by flanks, and fighting the war all over again. Now you say it ain't so. Man oh man. |

"One evening in August 1976 a National Park Service law enforcement officer visited last Stand Hill. He was alone when a sudden drop in temperature went through his body. The cold was accompanied by the soft murmuring of voices. He did not stay long enough to discover whether they were talking to him"

I visit the Gettysburg Battlefield at least 3 or 4 times a year.
Each time I do I make it a point to go to the Cashtown Inn. It
is here that people have said they have seen a Confederate soldier
walking around inside the Inn. Well I have yet to have seen any
soldier Union or Confederate at the Inn, ghost that is. |

You of so little faith. You have not seen because you do not believe! |

Well Joe, maybe one of these days, when at Gettysburg, while sitting
on Little Round Top, maybe a few Ghost will join me. |

SgtMajor,
When I was in the Air Force (don't laugh) I met a few Top Sergeants. Each and everyone of them were outstanding individuals who commanded respect and got it. Well deserved respect I might add. Going by your selected nomenclature and, what little I can discern from your posts and background, methinks you are one of those elite gentleman. Having said that, I would not be at all surprised if a few Gettysburg war hero's have already "joined you" in good fellowship at the Little Round Top and,(I think) will always be with you. I salute you Sir! |

Joe, Thank you very much, and I am not laughing. Like you I spent
10 years in the Air Force, there were many Sgt's I looked up to
and always hoped I could be like them. After 16 years in the Army
and serving under the best Top Sgt's this country could produce. I
had a goal and a dream, it was privilege and an honor to have served
this great country of ours. |
