Gettysburg Address 150 years later

[GARY POPOLO]

I am new to your discussion forum but a big fan of all things Lincoln and the civil war. I have been reading all of your subject information both questions and answers and have learned so many new things about our president that I didnot know. My purpose for writing today is to tell everyone about the wonderful trip to Gettysburg this past weekend. To start my wife and I stayed at the Doubleday Inn which is the only B & B Located on the battlefield. We went to parade which was like no parade I have ever seen. then went to remembrance Illumination at National Cemetery. I am sure that all of you have seen this ceremony but this was first time for me and words cannot express how it made my wife and I feel. Saturday night my wife and I dressed in our civilwar attire attended our first ball. What a time we had. Had to leave on sunday so was unable to hear Mr. Lincoln give his Gettysburg address on monday. Thank you all for your expertise. Gary
