CPL(P) Bret Farritor I went over to Gettysburg a few weeks before the 150 Anniversary. Time for another roadtrip, only about six hours from me. Always a sobering and reflective trip when you see how large the battlefield area is over the Eastern PA rolling hills.

I am in Harrisburg PA today. I have already visited the battlefield, so today I am walking the halls of the state museum. Many many artifacts on display here also humble me. The legacy of their sacrifice, I hope will be proudly preserved and shared with generations yet to come.

I still want to know why Lee wanted to attack the middle of Union defenses. I have a hunch.
