[DMZ-LT]

In fifteen minutes from now on this day 139 years ago 15,000 Confederate troops under Gen. Picket made their famous charge on the Union center, a mile away , on Cemetary Ridge. More than 7,000 were KIA and WIA . Gettysburg would cost the Union 23k and the Confederates25k KIA , WIA. Imagine your in the woods waiting for the moment to advance or behind a stone fence looking over the field or flying into a hot LZ - war sucks
