Gettysburg National Cemetery is the final resting place for more than 3,500 Union soldiers killed in the Battle of Gettysburg, a Union victory often cited as a turning point in the Civil War.
Gettysburg National Cemetery (Baltimore Pike) Gettysburg , PA 17325 United States
Amazing awe inspiring location. It is a historic site that must be honored and viewed . The memorial to the fallen is breath taking.
"...at the conclusion of the fight there still remained, as if in mockery, the notice: All persons found using fire-arms in these grounds will be prosecuted with the utmost rigor of the law."
"Cemetery Ridge was the scene of some of the severest fighting and on which is situated the National Soldiers' Cemetery . Here President Lincoln attended the consecration of the Soldiers' Monument ."
A wonderful tribute to our nation’s fallen.????????????
"The original (Evergreen) cemetery was a very handsome enclosure , and contained many elegant monuments , very few of which were injured, notwithstanding the terrible nature of the conflict."
Very moving and beautiful.
Such a beautiful place bought me to tears.
Go for the Remembrance Day luminary ceremony!
Do the Ranger Program.
It's a nice place to visit to see where it all went down. - Vicky P.
