20th South Carolina Volunteer Infantry

We are part of the future they died for. They are part of the past that brought the
future. What they did, the lives they lived, the sacrifices they made, the stories they
told and the songs they sung and finally, the deaths they died, make up a part of our
own experience. We cannot cut ourselves off from it. It is as real to us as something
that happened last week. -- Bruce Catton.
