"God defend me from my friends; from my enemies I can defend myself."
Assuming that anyone who it would have been my pleasure to meet was still alive and capable of carrying on a conversation the following are the main people I’d like to have meet. Captain Bartholomew Roberts (Pirate), Francis Marion (Revolutionary War), Brigadier General States Rights Gist (Civil War), Col. Rush C. Hawkins, 9th New York Volunteers (Civil War), Col. William T.C. Grower, 17th New York Veteran Volunteers (Civil War), Captain James B. Horner, Company H, 17th N.Y. Veteran Volunteers (Civil War), Major Micah J. Jenkins, 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry (Spanish American War), as well as any other persons who served in the Armed forces of the World at any point in time.
As far as for meeting people today, as long as you are able to think for yourself, have an interest in History, or in the preservation of the memories of Veterans, believe in honesty and integrity (or a lack thereof), or are just what could be termed a generally “interesting†person, I’d be more than glad to make your acquaintance.
If you’d like to catch me feel free to reach me on AOL Instant Messenger (Johnnyreb6) or on MySpace Instant Messenger.
