We spent the day at the Civil War Gettysburg Battlefield and Cemetery. It was very emotional to be there. The photo is of the "High Water Mark" the farthest point of penetration by the Confederates into the Federal line. In the three days of battle here, 50,000 men lost their lives, were wounded or captured. From this point, the Confederates withdrew and retreated. It was the turning point in the war. The cemetery was everything that President Lincoln said in his speech. As I read the words on the bronze plaque of the Gettysburg address, I recalled reciting the speech when I was in the seventh grade. Now I understand much more fully the significance of that speech and the work left for us. Richard
