Dear John, What wonderful insight you've provided on Juneteenth. Erasing our
military history is traditional Americana - according to which
it was a day when people 'sang, danced, and prayed,' in gratitude.
Thank you for restoring this knowledge. And, as always, Bill, thank you for spreading it. Regards, Virginia

Thank you for such important information. This is an awakening that I now have more detail on what really happened in Texas during this so very important period for the state of Texas and for African-American History and our descendants. But, especially for the slaves that were free because of the Army Corps saving the Union.
