Yorktown october 19th 2011

This day  few of the 214 artillery pieces stand as mute witness’s to the end of the American Revolution 230 years ago……. America had its independence after a long fought struggle, take a moment and think About the men who fought and forged the country we call America….. We should all be grateful for their sacrifice.Captured at Yorktown :Some 8,000 troops, 214 artillery pieces, thousands of muskets, 24 transport ships, + wagons and horses were captured.

Some of these may be original guns but others are reproductions.....
