Thanks for posting this. I went to Gettysburg a couple of years ago and it was one of the most moving experiences of my life. If every American were required to make one “patriotic pilgramage” in their lifetime, I would nominate Gettysburg as the destination.

Good for you. I am a member of The Friends of Gettysburg and I go twice a year. Your experience is exactly the kind we love to hear about.

You'll be happy to know that we are making a number of changes in the battlefield to restore it to a condition closer to its original state.

The telephone and cable lines that ran across Devil's Den in front of Little Round Top have now been rerouted or buried beneath the soil.

The Visitor's Center is in the process of being removed from Cemetery Ridge just in front of the Angle and a new state-of-the-art Visitor's Center is now sited adjacent to the battlefield in an unobtrusive place. Soon visitors should be able to have a view from Seminary Ridge similar to the one that Pickett himself had at the time of his division's famous charge.

I had the same experience. It’s hallowed ground.

I visited there just about 10 weeks ago, and concur.
