Gettysburg Trip
We are in Gettsburg today. I came on business and Lisa and Nick came along. Gettysburg is one of my favorite places on the planet, and one of my favorite places in Gettysburg is the location of the 20th Maine monument. Here is Nick at the monument. It is amazing to stand there and imagine what took place on this spot on July 2, 1863. Certainly one of the many turning points of the Civil War. While we were there today there was a small flag at the base of the monument that some child had obviously left there. On it was written: "To the men of the 20th Maine, July 2nd, 1863. God bless you all. Love Tyler." Kind of says it all.
