GDG- First Minnesota

 As far as %'s go I would think it's fair to say that most regiments if not all at Gettysburg or any other battle for that matter gave some sort of supreme sacrifice.( Little Billy may be the one exception at Gettysburg ) They each deserve the utmost respect in this regard. Far too  many men and women gave the final sacrifice in any one of these Companies,Regiments, Brigades, Division's and Corps. To try and measure the actions or bravery of a certain group based on %, I'm just not buying it. Consider Harpers Ferry, those guys didn't turn out to be cowards after all did they?
  
 Just a personal feeling which is not intended to offend or ridicule anyone on these boards. I know that some did not stand up as well as others and should'nt be held in the same regard. Other then that enjoy your day
