Have you ever visited a battle field?

This question came from my husband and I don’t think I’ve ever visited a battle field.  I surely would have remembered but I have a feeling there is a certain ghost-like blanket over some of those hallowed grounds.  If given the chance, I’d like to go to the beaches of Normandy.

Have you ever visited a battle field and if so, what did it feel like?

    I have not, unless I am forgetting some school field trip. Visiting a battlefield is not on my bucket list. I did visit Arlington West, not a battlefield — but a memorial by Veterans For Peace, where they put one cross in the sand for each soldier that has died in our occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s held every Sunday at Santa Monica Pier. I think they still do it and if so, I recommend it highly. It’s very a very sad and moving tribute.

    I just visited Valley Forge a couple weeks ago. Not necessarily a battlefield, but where the army camps trained. It was pretty… and had fun historical reenactment areas. Hardly made me think of war, though.

    Oh, I should mention that the above picture is me with my several greats uncle, General Baron von Steuben.

    Yeah, visited a bunch and been on a few.

    Nope, but I’ve heard plenty of stories about them. My father is a Vietnam vet and my friend Terry served in Afghan and helped out at ground zero on 9/11.

    Battlefields~

    I can’t say that I have ever stepped foot upon soil where a soldier lost their life. Fighting for something or someone they believed in enough to perish over is honorable and those who have fought for truth, both living and deceased, should continue to be memorialized. For most Americans, after 9/11, it became painfully obvious that battlefields have no boundaries.

    Then again, taking the lives of innocents should never be confused with a battle in which both sides are willing participants and/or are capable of defending themselves.

    Diffuse the anger and spread the peace~
