On several occasions, I have gone to Gettysburg for the re-dedication of the National Cemetery. It is a beautiful program: The Gettysburg High School band plays Civil War songs, there is a speaker of national importance, a living historian that portrays a Civil War era person (Governor Curtin of Penn, Frederick Douglass) and a Lincoln Impersonator says the address. It is a lovely ceremony.
