what's "bork bork"? Remember, I'm new to Swissitude...
I guess it DOES make me feel a little different - more patriotic, I think. I didn't realize I had ancestors here before the Revolutionary war, and the Gettysburg thing is just damned cool.
My cousin, who lives in PA, is a huge Civil War buff. It was a real treat to share the information with him. He goes to Gettysburg all the time and gives tours to friends. He was unaware of his connection to the place.
Lincoln has long been a huge hero of mine, and to imagine an ancestor of mine standing there in uniform while he spoke his immortal words is just really damned cool.
