    Love the two guys on top of the hill. Their heads 'have reached' the clouds!

      PS: I don't know anyone with the name von Wille. What part of Berlin did your gf live in? If you have somewhere specific that's around here, I can take a look in an old cemetery. I love assignments! :)

    That's very interesting and reminds me of medieval warfare techniques I read about somewhere...

    Have you seen the new TV series this year TURN on AMC? It is all about the Revolutionary War, love the family drama about the soldiers on both sides.

    I went to Colonial Williamsburg several times, but never stopped by Yorktown. Wish I had. Interesting post.

    Another reason to remember that the US and France have served each other well over the years.
