The one thing I was least pleased with when I visited the new visitor's center (which overall I thought was fantastic) was that they have used the History Channel movies already done which call the events of July 3 "Pickett's Charge." Only a tiny sign in the corner of the room reminds us that Pickett wasn't the only one out there. So for all the North Carolinians who made it almost to the wall, and all the others on both sides who were lost in this horrendous ill-advised charge, you are not forgotten.

Thanks for posting this - it /is/ a great quote! (BTW: My big "beef" w/ 
the movies - both the main one and the Day 3 one - is that they called 
out for the "sunrise attack" by Longstreet...)

When I get the time, I'll post my impressions of the new VC...
