I have been fortunate enough to have been a supporter of this fine organization since 1997. I was born and raised in Virginia so Civil War Site preservation has been important to me most of my life. When I was a child I viewed the Petersburg VA seige trenches with awe. I could not understand how housing developments could be built on such hallowed ground. Now I support this wonderful organization that is preserving that very ground and it is doing so with the greatest use of my contributions.
