Local coverage in Gettysburg. Be sure to leave a comment since we have some nasty Rat trolls in the community.

I live 40 minutes away, so if she’s coming to visit I would love to stop by. If she does, great move, since there is a movie coming out about the battle that “saved a nation” and this would only serve to emphasize it’s importance.

One of the most memorable places I have been to.
Interesting relationship with Vicksburg, too.

I love the “She has a huge following here.”, bit. Roll on, Sarah! You’ve already started your campaign and the MSM hasn’t even caught it. Doing things ‘the Palin Way’.

We visited Gettysburg a few summers ago. It was a very moving experience.

I really hope that she has a chance to visit Pastor John Wega's United State Christian Commission Memorial Day Service tomorrow. John's a friend of mine and runs an outstanding Civil War-themed ministry.
United States Christian Commission
The service is scheduled for Sunday, May 29 · 10:00am - 11:00am at:
USCC Civil War Chapel
297 Steinwehr Avenue
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Been there several times. It is an awesome place. I would recommend a visit there by anyone within driving distance. For the day or a weekend. A part of history you can truly relive. To walk the formerly blood soaked ground, to stand at the copse of trees imagining Picketts charge. You can almost hear the Rebel yells and the cannon boom. To walk The Wheat field, Devils Den, Bloody Run, The Peach Orchard. To view the battlefield, close up, from Little Round Top.
The self guided, cassette tape (probably CD by now), auto tour is well worth the money and a good way to tour the park. (not expensive) and you get to keep the tape. You can proceed at your own pace, start & stop as you like.
A low cost, mini vacation. I highly recommend it, especially if you have kids studying American History. It brings it ALIVE. There are also reenactments in the area and other battle sights to visit.
I have no personal connection or financial interest to Gettysburg, I live in NY.

STFU and get off this otherwise positive thread.

There is much speculation that Governor Palin will announce that she is running on
July 4, 2011 WHERE do FReepers think that she should make this announcement?
- in front of Mount Rushmore - so that we can associate her with the rest of America's best leaders?- onboard the USS Ronald Reagan, or at the Reagan Library -- to stress her connection with the Gipper?
- in Washington, D.C. - as a counter to the July 4th Million Muslim March?
- or????
