KKK in Gettysburg

It looks like the KKK is planning on holding a rally on the Gettysburg battlefield the afternoon of October 5th, near the site where Abraham Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address.  I'm planning on donning my blue suit and standing in protest against this hate group. 

Who will join me?

UPDATE: Rally cancelled due to government shutdown.  Kind of funny in a way!

The End

Not of the blog, but of the Gettysburg photos!  Some of the gang in front of the 116th PA monument.  I hope you enjoyed the series.

Rainy Days

Its Not ALL Fun And Games

Huck was attacked by chiggers.  Someone asked him if he "painted those on."

Stacked Arms

Hurry up and wait.

Morning Mist

Yes, We Really Were There

I cannot describe what an honor it was to camp on the battlefield.  The little flags and tape were there so we could lay out our company streets, they were removed the following day.  No, I did not see, or sense, any ghosts.  There are so such things as ghosts.

Camp

Our camp on the Battlefield.  The Round Tops are in the distance.

At The Route Step

Its rare to be allowed to march under arms at Gettysburg. Here, we tramp across a field on the way to the Irish Brigade monuments.

Gettysburg 2013

I'll be featuring a few photos from our Gettysburg Adventure over next few days.  We did the National Park Service event on July 1, 2, and 3. Most of the men arrived on Sunday, June 30, camped overnight through a rather nasty storm, and then performed demonstrations and living history activities throught the day on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.  It was quite an honor to camp on the actual battlefield, in the shadow of the Pennsylvania Monument.  Here, the boys wait for chow at the Trostle Farm.
