[Elecraft] Independance Day

[Gil Stacy]

Jacques and Jean,

Thank you for your greetings on this important day in American history.  The
French played a major role in our independence which is not forgotten
by many Americans.  Of local importance, in 1779, less than 10 miles from
where I sit, French Admiral Valerie D'estaing, landed his troops for the
Battle of Savannah, the second bloodiest battle in the Revolution where many
Americans and French died.  The battle took place 2 miles from my qth. Many
of those killed were buried in mass graves which remain undisturbed.

73, Gil NN4CW
