July 3 - Gettysburg. 144 years ago today.

Yes it is. I thought it was the most solemn place I had ever been. Then, I went to Vicksburg. The size of that cemetery was overwhelming and made it hard to breathe.
I know more were lost at Gettysburg, but the memorials are more spread out. You can't take it all in at once. At Vicksburg, once it starts it goes on, and on, and on.....

Vicksburg is very well marked and easy to visualize what went on. Plus it's handy!
