Gettysburg Experience:

On August 18, 2014 I took a trip to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. I learned a lot about the American Civil War and the sacrifices men gave to achieve the nation we are today. I really enjoyed the educational experience and I look forward to visiting Gettysburg again. These are the photos and videos I took while at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
