I wanted to say, ...Sorry, about that test, Steve. <br /><br />I wanted to say, thank you. This is a wonderful post. Our ancestors overcame overwhelming obstacles to survive and build on this continent. Most of the time, I don't think we deserve what they left us. We can use reminders of their sacrifices and their legacy.anita jessenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941208440849104615.post-65807004745624332092011-08-29T18:04:35.352-07:002011-08-29T18:04:35.352-07:00I have been trying for a couple of days to comment...I have been trying for a couple of days to comment on this and can't seem to post anything.

I can't imagine actually making that trek. It's not in my family history but it gives me new respect for all the people that did it.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541896886390334095noreply@blogger.com
