ON POINT FOR AMERICA!!!
Hello Johnson's. It was good to see you at Antietam. Bill Roth and I fought with the 79th NY. It was a great weekend even though some of the battles were screwed-up.

Sunday we opted to visit the battlefield and the National Cemetery where we saw that you had placed an American Flag at your relative's grave. We love the battlefield and the cemetery.

Hope to see you both in Waukesha.

Best, Mike Marinelle/Bill Roth
