    IF you live in the U.S. or can get here by April 2nd 2016 you need to read this!

    I just got this invite in the mail from the Civil War Trust Foundation, and thought I'd share in case ya'll don't get these updates.

    Park Day is the Civil War Trust’s annual initiative where volunteers take on preservation projects at battlefields and state parks across the country. Anyone can join. Click here to find a park near you.

    If you’re in Virginia, we have a special Generations Cadet Conference event on Park Day at the Wilderness battlefield. When you become a Wilderness Soldier, you’ll don the uniforms and learn the drills in the actual Virginia Wilderness—the scene of brutal combat characterized by confusing fighting in the tangled second-growth thickets. Join us with your guests aged 8 to 18 for an unforgettable experience. To learn more and register, click here.

    These events are a great opportunity to spend a day at the park. From painting, to landscaping, to clearing trails, there are so many ways to help beautify our parks. Your support will make a big impact for years to come. Thank you for your effort in protecting our battlefields across the America.

    P.S. Volunteer for a preservation project on April 2nd! Find a park near you here.
    Since I live near so many, I guess my decision is which one to go to.

    Might be able to go to some sights, if I am available, I'm going
