I was browsing the web and ran accross a really good piece written by our esteemed board member Eric Wittenburg. I found it very well done and I provide a link to it for those interested. Thanks Ted

It's always tough to look at the pictures of huge amounts of dead horses after Gettysburg, just hate the heck out of that one. I grew up with my mother making me leave my barn clothes on the back porch before I was allowed to come into the house- never could figure out why everyone didn't appreciate smelling like a horse, I thought it was better than soap any day. It really is wrenching if you let your head GO there, to how many died horribly, or just got used up.

That's a haunting memorial, never saw that one before, more haunting when something lyrical is written with it- kind of perfect, thanks for the link.
