No Thursday Thirteen today - First of all let's just say that I was moved last night while watching American Idol. The amount of money that was raised was outstanding. If memory serves me correctly when they went off the air had raised $30 million. The performances where outstanding. You know, you hear about this stuff all the time but it really doesn't sink in until you see if first hand. I wish that I could do more... but I can't. All I can do is donate what I can, that I did.

I was planning my own Idol post today and will bring up your challenge!!!
Great post. Most summers (if we could afford it) on vacation Mom and Dad invariably included an old battlefield amongst the stops. One of the good ones was in Tennessee, The Battle of Stones River in Murfreesboro...Ah memories. Cheers Dixie.
I was familar with some of the informatin on Sam Davis, but not all of this. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day off TT...
Last night's AI made me sob. I'm such a sap. BUT, I, too, will be donating.
Josh Grobin with the African's children's choir? Chills.
Thanks darlin!
Oh - you're font got very small. I had a little trouble reading it.
Damn these aging eyes!
The Idol show was amazing and touching!!!! It was awful how they scared Jordin (and me & hubby) though.
I've always been fascinated with the Civil War. Hubby and I went to Gettysburg a couple summers ago and I have never been as awed as I was then. Just standing where so much tragedy occurred..
Every time I come here and read your header I always want to clap clap clap. :)
Thank you for the informative history lesson, Sam Davis sounds like he was quite the guy no matter what "side" of the war he was on. His family must have been very proud to have raised such a fine young man.
Wowsers! That info on Sam Davis was interesting. It sounds like he was a very brave man and I'm sure his family was proud of him.
I also liked hearing about all the money raised for charity on AI. It was very heart-warming!
