Dad I am very much looking forward to seeing Pearl Harbor. It has always ranked at the top of my list as places to see in Hawaii. My folks went probably 20 yrs in a row, and went to PH every time.
I cant believe I missed out on all this history talk!! When there was a river or creek or some body of water nearby, the battle would often be referred too by the name of said body of water by the North. Likewise, the town closest by would be what the South referred to same battle as the name.
A strange little side note about 2nd battle of Manassas/Bull Run, when James Longstreet's troops(southern General under Robert E. Lee's command)were soon to be over run by Northern troops, and were running out of ammunition, they picked up rocks and started throwing them at the oncoming swarm of Blue. They did this just long enough to hold them at bay until re-inforcements arrived. A little bit of useless knowledge to carry you through for your day
Can I just say how cool all you folks are that we can share our love of WDW, VWL and talk history all within the same thread.
