Thank you, Jim. Whenever I watch a fireworks display, I try to rememebr what it must have been like to face down cannon-shot!

Rick, that is amazing, but also tragic. I'm not a war-monger, but I have stong feelings about the American Revolution. Do you know in which battle your ancestor lost his limb?

Sorry to be late to the party; been in Maine.

It was the one in the engraving above, Mark.
