The First Minnesota

Brave men still answer the call to arms and now brave women as well. Link is to historical site about the 1st Minnesota Regiment of the GAR in the Civil War. They live in infamy because most laid down their lives in the battle of Gettysburg. There was an 82% casualty rate that day but the unit went out to fight the next as well.
There were brave soldiers who fought valiantly for what they believed on the other side too.
