Hillary's hotel room from about 8 pm until about 1 am.

My Dad wading in on Red Beach 1, Tarawa, November 20, 1943.

Mine would be the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. I would lov to see the debates of state rights anti federalists vs those wanting a stronger legislative federal government.

Second would be the Grassy Knoll/texas Book Depository

August 4, 1961

Honolulu, HI

The hospital where Obama was born. This way I could put an end to the debate. Except no one would believe me anyway. At least those that support what I actually learn would believe me.

1st and 2nd Manassas particularly Longstreets assault.

I'd like to be with my ancestor Joseph "Beausolei" Broussard in and around Grand Pre, Acadia in the mid 1750s when he fought an insurgency against the British who were rounding up his family and friends and forcing them off the lands they had lived on and developed for more than a century by herding them onto boats at the point of swords and guns and taking them elsewhere, only to eventually end up at the docks of the Mississippi River in New Orleans and then what is now St. Martinville, Louisiana after crossing the Atchafalaya basin, where he settled and started a new life.

Sure your on the right forum? This isn't Tiger Droppings!

January 1, 1940, New Orleans, Louisiana: Tulane Stadium.

A&M beating Tulane 14-13 and winning the National Championship.

Not sure when this will ever happen again.

Most of the events I would like to witness are more to satisfy my curiosity.

Amelia Earhart?
Roanoke Colony?
DB Cooper?
Did Travis draw a line in the sand?
The entire Apollo 11 mission
What really happened at the Little Bighorn
And is Sasquatch real?

Also to see the Texas Brigade at the Wilderness in May 1864.

The Texas Brigade at the Wilderness really resonates with me, but even with the "fly on the wall" non-involvement, I wonder how much of the actual battlefield violence I could take before rethinking the whole thing.

I have never been in battle, but one supposes that those who are are concentrated intently on the area immediately around their person and focused on survival, of necessity operating with a pretty narrow field of vision.

If we were "witnessing" freely and unrestrictedly, without any sense fear or concern for self, leaving the senses fully open as if at a movie, the actual unbridled carnage and mayhem of warfare, how much could we take?

I'd want to see the "Lee to the rear!" part; I imagine that would be about all I could take. Reading about it is one thing ...

How far did you get into the first 30 minutes of Saving Private Ryan did you get before you looked away? The first time a cannon shell goes through two ranks of men would probably be enough for most people. Not to mention the wounded horses.

I'd like to be in the room when the American delegation says they'd like to buy New Orleans and French Foreign Minister Tallyrand says, "How about ALL of Louisiana?"

Okay I amend my first answer: I want to be in the Corps of Discovery! The best hunting/ fishing/canoeing/ camping trip where the local women wanted to have sex with you of all time!

The final battle of the Alamo. Where were the breakouts of the defenders during the battle? How did David Crockett and Cpt. Almaron Dickinson die? Where were the funeral pyres? How many defenders were actually in the Alamo?

Siege of Vienna and the charge of the Polish Winger Hussars under Sobieski. What a sight to behold.....
