So today is the 150th anniversary of the Southern states' initiation of hostilities against the Union and government of the United States?

Yep...it's like your little brother celebrating the day you gave him an atomic wedgie...

the Star Spangled Banner yet waves o'er Ft. Sumter.



edit: wish they would take out the eyesore Endicott fortifications from the beautiful, historic old forts.

This morning, at 6:45, mortars began firing in an official ceremony to mark the beginning of the Civil War. I was on Fort JOhnson, one of about 150 people, to witness it and it was amazing. It began with a prayer and then the Pledge of Alligience. It was a great ceremony.

History is history, for good and bad.
