Gettysburg National Cemetery
After our free time for dinner, we were to meet at the entrance for the National Cemetery for a Bible study and short lecture. Dad and I grabbed our cameras, and headed for the meeting. This is a very beautiful piece of land, and is immaculately kept. We entered the main entrance and walked past the dedication memorial for Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Harry took us to a spot just out from the Soldiers' National Monument, where we all found a spot to sit down. He gave a quick scripture reading, then a short lecture on leadership. Afterwards, we had a chance to wander around the cemetery. Dad and I both got some good shots of this sacred place. Today, the cemetery is the final resting place for more than 6000 honorably discharged veterans and their dependents, from the 1898 War with Spain to the Vietnam War.
