Here's a guy who's got a Ph.D. in life. No amount of "book learning" will give one perspective. That's why the importance of the interpretive work Matt and the rest of these Rangers do can't be overstated. Thanks for posting, as always. Got to get back up to Gettysburg.

Do not forget the passing of Donna Godchaux in November singer with the Grateful Dead from my home town of Muscle Shoals Alabama "Hit recording capital of the World"!

Thank you so much for posting this. I had planned to head up early, get my ticket, find a place to work for a while and then watch the lecture, but was very under the weather when I woke up. It is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for helping me to think about the history of our country in an objective way. The United States may not be perfect, but she is certainly great in many ways. I appreciate your "southern" sense of humor and viewpoint. Good work Matt. BTW The Vietnam image was from Hamburger Hill, not Keashan.
