Random Thoughts on Day Four

Jackson

Today we went to Gettysburg and had a tour of some the turning points and locations of the Civil War. We adventured on Little Round Top and Devils Den. Our tour guide taught us about the heros of the war for the Union and Confederates both had very interesting stories. We saw many of the monuments and statues of battle. After leaving Gettysburg I realized how much different war is then from now. In the Civil War there were still such a thing as a gentlemen. Today was by far my favorite day and it was the most interesting that we have done yet.

Today during our FreedomTour in Pennsylvania and Virginia, we visited Gettysburg, Arlington, The Pentagon, and the U.S. Marine Corps Memorial. In Gettysburg we learned about the three different days of battle and how Maine was involved in the fighting. We walked around Arlington I peeked over some graves and spotted a whitetail deer. We walked around the 9/11 Pentagon Memorial and then to the U.S. Marines Memorial when it was dark and looked around.
