wow...
one of the most moving films I've seen in years...
Field of Lost Shoes on Netflix...
completely filmed in Virginia, the Battle of New Market.
I never understood the significance of VMI, and what took place.... now I have a better understanding.
Places I have stood, and ridden, and experienced firsthand while living there.
Dona and I were in awe from the moment we moved there, and the history and places we saw were so meaningful in understanding the true brutality of war. I think every child world wide should see this, and maybe we will begin to stop re-living the mistakes of the past....

http://youtu.be/cQcscNUbctkI've visited this battlefield, along with a hundred others... and a hundred more small and large cemeteries...some places gave me chills, some places gave me an insight, many downright were haunting.
