The most moving experience thus far is.This 105yr old 5'4" man brought in his glass enclosed WW-2-Medals he earned while serving with Patton.Then he tells us that his Ancestor-Congressman-Alfred Ely.He was the first prisoner of the Civil War at "Bull Run".He was captured as a spectator and sent to Libby Prison and later exchanged by Lincoln.His Ancestor told us that Ely felt he was used as a "Political Football"by Lincoln.
