Gettysburg Remembrance Day Parade / 2023

On Saturday, November 18th, 2023, the town of Gettysburg celebrated the dedication of the National Cemetery in Gettysburg, where President Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address in 1863. The event honors the soldiers and civilians of the American Civil War. This marked our fourth consecutive year in attendance, and words fall short in capturing the profound emotional impact it holds. Some of these folks have personal connections to the war or the town specifically. I try to make a point to engage in a conversation to find that connection.
It is nice to see some young faces contributing to the parade, as I know this is an aging hobby

I aimed to include as many attendees as possible, which resulted in a longer video. Despite its length, I believe it offers valuable content and diverse perspectives to enhance viewer enjoyment.
