This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I am Gaius John Bachelor.

We're in Londinium with my dear friend Germanicus, Michael Laius, and we're headed to the

theater after we sacrifice to the God Augustus Augustus who made for a wonderful first century

a. D. once the Julian Claudia family left us, Errit's time when Nero decided to deprive the world of a great actor by committing suicide.

However, here we are at the end of another round of disappointed family members,

and we know ahead of us are some successful

emperors. We're reflecting upon the 20th and 21st century today and we've talked to D-Day.

I've talked to actually two things in the 20th century.

The 50th anniversary of Gettysburg, where the veterans with their long beards

and they did wear them long in those

days came together especially there's a lot of photographs of the men at the

angle which was the low point for the Confederates and the high point for the

Union and after what came to be a vanglorious act of frontal assault on the third day.

And veterans of the peach orchard, which was the second day, came together shaking hands.

That was 1913.

And then Germanicus is reflected about in 1944 and how it was celebrated in 84 under Ronald Reagan, under 94 less so under Bill Clinton.

Certainly in 2004 at the 60th, because it was useful to the Bush administration.

Not to my knowledge at all in the 70th.

I just don't recall it for the Obama administration.

But here in the Biden administration, but here in the Biden administration not celebrated so much as

used as a political ploy for the campaign ahead of the president.

That was the 20th century.
