Even before the bad weather heads weve been checking on preparations across Hampton Roads we found out something public works crews hit the streets this morning were told their operations throughout the day focused on applying brine to major roadways and bridges because its about to get so cold ponds will start to freeze but not all the way of course and that creates a dangerous situation.

They are returning to tables that had empty chairs around them throughout the war and now will be permanently empty, because many thousands of those men will not return back to their families.

The other thing is that some confederates we can say well, we can go to the pension files, these documents when confederate soldiers will fill out documents to get money and prospects which we will talk about in a few minutes but those files in many ways are incomplete. They are also hidden from public view. In fact, some states actually still have medical seals on these documents because they contain private details. Medical details, about family members that you dont want necessarily to go public. So for the veterans who came home psychologically disturbed, some of them turned to alcohol abuse, some to drug abuse, particularly opium. We also see some contemplate and actually commit suicide.
