Gettysburg

Today was the third and final day of the Battle of Gettysburg. The Union Army beat back Pickett's Charge and sent the Confederate army in retreat. Unfortunately, the Union general, Meade failed to pursue and destroy General Lee's army and the war continued two more years.

3,155 Union dead
4,708 Confederate dead

So--start flying your flag today for those men--and revel in the simple patriotism that seems to irk the left.
