Here at the Compound we're wishing everyone a happy 4th of July, even as the Second Civil War rages around us.
Pause for a moment in your celebrations to reflect on the pain, agony and grief of the conflict as revealed in this short selection of letters from the front.
Yes, war is hell. Don't forget to raise a glass to our heroes while BBQ sizzles on the grill.
Cheers,
LSP
