We spent a couple of days in Gettysburg visiting the Civil War battlefields.  The quiet beauty of the fields brings a sense of sadness and loss for the many soldiers who died here.

The eternal flame was ignited 75 years after the war ended.  Almost 2,000 former Confederate and Union soldiers attended the dedication.

On a lighter side, Judy had a blast! 

Only seconds after this picture was taken a mother bird which had built a nest in the canon flew out the barrel where Judy is looking.  Timing is everything.

Woody gets into the act firing one of the well-preserved cannons.

This is the National Tower.  I didn't even know we had a "National Tower", did you?
