Yesterday and Today we spend time in Gettysburg. This was a awe inspiring experience. The battle field is huge, and it is hard to imagine the amount of solders that were all over the fields, and then remembering that 50,000 solders died in 3 days of fighting.

 

The kids got to join an Army unit and learn about the clothes, conditions, food and weapons that the solders used. They then got to take part in a mock battle where 40% of time died, just so they could understand the loss of life.
