I hope that we all bowed our heads at some point today and recognized that it was 150 years ago this date that Gen. Lee surrendered his forces to Gen. Grant and began the slow process of reunification, reconciliation, and reconstruction. If for no other reason, give reverence to the 700,000 men who died on both sides and to the families throughout the North and South who lost loved ones and had property destroyed. Make your own vow that our country will never be put in such a situation again.
