These cannons are standing at Gettysberg, PA in support of Pickett's Charge on day three of the battle...

410 cannons and I have a trailer hitch... :winking:

I wonder if I could get away with telling them that I was assigned that cannon in a former life, and I'm here to get it back... :bull:

Hmmmmmmmmm, it's so crazy, it might just work... :winking:
