Gettysburg-History Everywhere

Hello all:  John and I have encountered something unique coming to Gettysburg, PA.  The entire town resonates history . . . not only did the Battle of Gettysburg encompass the surrounding countryside for miles but the streets and buildings of downtown itself.  Three days of battle and over 51,000 lives lost, (almost as many as the entire Vietnam war) 5000 horses, and over 165,000 soldiers converging for battle.  It's an amazing place to see, to attempt to grasp the scope of war that happened here in and around this town.  All to restore freedom to every American . . . so many lives lost for that ideal.  America, let us not go backward.
