Stellan:

Mount Suribachi.

Next...Liversedge at Quantico!

What an amazing co-incidence.

I spent a bit of time there in 2002 during a cross border study of fire and movement related to the Battle of Chancellorsville.

We toured the area...Ely's Ford, Catherine Furnace, the fork in the road where Lee and Jackson discussed their next plan of action, Zoan Church on the Plank Road.

The capper was when our tour guide showed us exactly where Jackson got shot by his own troops because he was forward of his own skirmish line. "Let me go forth and rest in peace on the other side..."

Had it not been for this unfortunate circumstance, Gettysburg, two weeks hence, most likely would have been a different story.

Stellan, did you get a chance to have a few ales in the Laurel and Anchor, just outside Quantico?
