Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
My sister, my nephew, and I drove up to Gettysburg last weekend for an annual event where they read the names of the Union soldiers who died in battle. In addition to being super pretty, the event provided a bit of perspective on recent events. Are we facing literal Civil War? Probably not! Are we facing four more years of rule by a criminal rapist clown who couldn't define sacrifice even with a dictionary? Very much yes!
In any event, it's worth checking out if you're ever in the area. Hearing a mix of proper names mixed with "Unknown, unknown" is a real gut punch.
And Lincoln was right -- we owe the dead who fought to save this country from slavery so much more.
