Oh Josh, you make me blush. Thanks for the sentiment, though. I've been looking into the history of our westward expansion, including the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery, en.wikipedia.org and the surveys of railroad routes from the east to west coasts. en.wikipedia.org 3rd1000.com en.wikipedia.org Those moments in history were conducted by MILITARY PEOPLE. Stevens died in the Civil War at Chantilly. Heck, the Inland Waterway through Dismal Swamp was surveyed by George Washington, the father of our country, and a military man to whom we owe everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. en.wikipedia.org I don't know why he doesn't have a holiday named after him anymore. Personally, I think it stinks.
