Another great story is the one told I believe toward the end of the Ken 
Burns CIVIL WAR series: At some point, when the numbers of veterans who 
survived Gettysburg were dwindling ever closer to zero, somebody decided 
to get the old geezers together to re-enact Picket's Charge. So the 
Union geezers took position up on the hill, and the Confederate geezers 
came on across that great open field as they had on that awful day of 
slaughter. As they approached the breastworks, the Union veterans 
spontaneously broke ranks, threw down their rifles, and rushed over the 
works and out into the oncoming Confederates--everybody embraced, many 
of them weeping openly.
