Friends;
On the Road to the 6th Gate I somehow wandered off the Road and came to an immense battlefied. There were men dyeng on all sides of me. there were thousands of men laying dead on the ground.Some wore blue and some wore grey. I ducked down to avoid the bulllets. There was a man in grey next to me. He said," our position is lost, we must retreat. He got up on a white horse and told me to jump on. "What is your name?"he said. My name is Lou, I said. "My name is Lee" he said. We went into the woods and came to a rest. "Where are we?" I said. "Pennslyvania" he said. I asked him what was happening and he said, "People are dying for freedom. The North is dyeing for freedom and the South is dying for their freedom. This is insane ,isn't it Lou?" I asked him why he was fighting and he said, "I don't care about any of this. I am just a soldier and my home is in Virginia and if it was in New Hampshire I would be fighting for the North. But people must die to have freedom". I asked him to repeat that. He said, "Yes, Lou, people must die for others to have freedom. Someone must die so that you can be free." "Someone must die so that I can be free?, Lee" "That's right ,Lou. Someone must die so that you can be free.
He had the most beutifull pistol at his side. It had grips made of pearl and his uniform was impeccibly tailored. His stature could be used to model a sculpture. I asked him how I could get back to the Road and he told me to hold his gun in my hand for a minuete. While I was holding the gun, I asked him for his last name. He said," Lee is my last name. My name is Robert Lee, Robert E. Lee.
I,Lou experianced this. He said, "Someone must die so that you can be free." Someone did die so that we could all be free. Someone vollenteered to die for us so that we could be free. My friends, I may be forced to leave this board and if that happens,remember the history of the world. Look at all the wars and how people died so that others could be free. There is somone that died so that you can be free. If I am gone from this board I am telling you that I was found by someone that died so that I could be free. And if the torch of freedom falls from my hands, I want you to pick it up so that it shines to others. If I am forced to leave this board, find the one that died to make you free.
Lou
