I visited gettysburgh battelfeild from the civil war and i also saw the reinactment. I was amazed.

I have been to Gettysburg many, many times and am more amazed every time I visit! It is such a fantastic historical site with so much to see.

I visited the beaches and cemetery at Dunkirk. Knowing my father had been on the beaches waiting to be evacuated made it more poignant.

The cemetery was awe inspiring, with row upon row of grave headstones, and a wall of names of servicemen and women missing with no known grave. The thing what really sticks in my mind is the ages of the dead servicemen and women, the great majority being in their late teens or early twenties.

If anybody wants a reason to be anti-war, visit a war graves cemetery, only the hardest heart can fail to be moved.

Agreed; it does help to have a relative connected with the site you are visiting, because it brings it a bit closer to home. My Civil War relative was only 17 when he was killed in battle so I can imagine what it would be like to stand where he fell.

I visited Bannockburn, scene of the battle in 1314 where Robert the Bruce's rag-tag army shattered the flower of English knighthood. It's an incredible place.
Unfortunately I don't have any digital pictures to upload.

Oh my...how interesting. I bet that was an amazing trip. Lucky you.

I agree, that's one place I'd really like to see! Lucky you!

I would love to see that; England has always been one of my favorite places to study and I am particularly fascinated with Bannockburn. If I could just pack up and visit England right now, I think Bannockburn is one of the first places I would go.

Yes, I have visited many of the battlefields of the Civil War located throughout Virginia. It is almost haunting/chilling to see them. You almost get a feeling the souls of those that died there are still there. It was such a wonderful experience. I especially loved Mannassas and Appomatox. The Civil War is one of my favorite historical time periods, and one of my favorite to write about. Great discussion topic. Thank you.

I stopped by the Wilderness, Chancellorsville, and Fredericksburg a few years ago but unfortunately didn't have a lot of time to explore. I have a relative who was killed at Spotsylvania in 1864, so I do wish I could have gone there.

Gettysburg is awesome. I've also been to the battlefields in Virginia, and I want to go to Antietam soon, and hopefully Vicksburg someday.

I have visited the Saratoga NY battlefield this summer. It was really interesting, as I live in the area and have never visited. There is alot of history in my area.

Not really on the topic, but I just watched the movie The New World. It was pretty slow, but was about Pocohontas and the settlement in Virginia. I watched how they made the movie and everything was pretty accurate to the old times. Check it out.

I have been in Kuwait during the Iraqi invasion of that country. though i didnt visit any battlefield there. Mainly because no much battle actually took place actually. It was more like a one sided war.
