On a recent trip to PA to see my sister I had a short time to go thru Gettyburg on the way home. I never had been there and wished I had more than an hour. It was way too much to take in during such a short drive by but hope to return again.
Thanks for this tribute, Jim. I have visited a US cemetery in Epinal, France and learned that our cemeteries overseas are similarly maintained by our government, and it had the same consistent symmetrical beauty as Jefferson Barracks, where my sister’s husband is buried on a hill overlooking the Mississippi. I have visited often with her when I am in St. Louis. (BTW, your sister Joanne and I were classmates at RGHS!)
