How many of us have visited Gettysburg Battlefield? I love American military history going all the way back. Will start with sharing a few Gettysberg photos.
First one is with a very nice and knowledgable Gentleman who talked with Belinda and I for about 30 minutes about the battle.

Last year my Daughter : and Son-in-law : were part of two restoration TDY's that did repairs at the Battlefields. They rebuilt a fence line the was in very bad shape. This is the newest fence line and likely the one they worked on. :2thumbsup

This one is for "Mark" If you look closely a C-130 is in the photo. It passed almost right over us. I got a closer photo of it but it was all blurry. deleted it.
