Camp Article

I guess better late than never. I had no idea that Stafford was that improtant to the Civil war. But it wasn't a surpise to know that the area held some historical importance, it is Virginia. The effort of saving the camps is crucial to presevering the war in our life time and not just the class. The war helped shape the US to the counry it is today, why destroy the camps or let it be bull dosed. The Board working together with CT Parkwas highly praised in the article. The camps would be benefical to Stafford county as a tourist destination and the ideal field trip. It seems like the people involved are really dedicated to the camps and its refreshing to know that American history is still as important as pop culture.

Natalie-I agree. Preserving the camps is vital because we learn from the past. It is also essential to know of battles fought here because we take pride in our state and knowing that Stafford was key to the Civil War makes me stand a little taller (which is nuts because I'm already like 20 feet tall). I totally second your opinion to that field trip! Merry Christmas!
