In a ceremony freighted with symbolism, survivors of Pickett's division marched to the stone wall on Cemetery Ridge and shook hands with the very men in blue who had tried so hard to kill them fifty years earlier.
The Shaw Memorial was unveiled on May 31, 1897, amid a great ceremony. Among the speakers was Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee Ins ute, who declared that his heart went out "to those who wore gray as well as to those clothed in blue...." More eloquent than any speech, though, was the moment when Sergeant William H. Carney, who had won a Medal of Honor for saving the 54th's national flag at Fort Wagner, came forward bearing the standard once more. "In dramatic effect, I have never seen or experienced anything which equaled this," wrote Washington. "For a number of minutes the audience seemed to entirely lose control of itself."

Inflict not on an enemy every injury in your power, for he may afterwards become your friend.

I saved the world from the Nazi oppressors, and you fatass, front running Americans were nothing but a sideshow in WWII. This is my day, you're welcome world.
