Give 150

Post by Rowan » Mon June 13th, 2011, 2:00 pm

2011 marks the 150 anniversary of the American Civil War.

This year, the Civil War Trust has partnered with the National Park Foundation in an effort to raise money and awareness to preserve our Civil War battlefields.

All they are really asking for is $1.50, which will be matched by the History Channel, but they will match all donations up to $150,000.00.

We all understand the importance of history, so I wanted to share this for those whoare unaware.
