Stop in for a cup of coffee

Today besides being anniversary from WW2 is also our annual reenactment anniversary for battle of Prairie Grove during Civil War. Not exactly a day of infamy but yet another reminder of the many non impact stalemate battles that incurred huge loss of life for zero tactical advantage. They battled for two days ultimately exhausting each others supplies for no clear Victor. The Southern Army had to withdraw in middle of the night back thru the valley (Greasy Valley Rd) where our home sits, back towards Ft Smith. The loss of life was staggering. I simply cannot imagine going to my Captain at end of the day and reporting I had lost hundreds of men that day. We are about to head out and attend the reenactment. Nothing romantic about men killing each other in War.
