151 years, plus 13 days or so

[Last year was the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. That Pennsylvania battlefield was duly commemorated, and EM did its own recognition. Below is an entry posted in these Treetop Diaries on August 5, 2013.]

From yesterday at the Presbyterian Church: Rick and Susan Sprout (dressed in blue) are from Picture Rocks and are active Civil War re-enactors. George Freeland is dressed in gray. The girls who greeted and passed out bulletins are Avery Williams (granddaughter of Dave & Sherry Carson) and Maggie Herman (granddaughter of Susan and Arnold Dahm).
Rick Sprout and George Freeland take up the offering during an emotional time of remembrance for so many lives lost during the battle of GettysburgA portion of the offerings collected go to the Sullivan County Ministerium and to the local Food Bank.
 
This was passed out at the Church commemoration:
