Sixth Annual Remembrance Illumination

Saturday, November 22, 2008

5:30-9:30 p.m.

Soldiers' National Cemetery

Gettysburg

In solemn commemoration of the sacrifices made at Gettysburg, more than 3,500 luminary candles were lit--

one on the grave of each Civil War soldier.

Thanks to all who joined us for this special remembrance. We also thank the volunteers who helped set up and clean up the cemetery as well as all individuals who sponsored luminary candles. Without you, this event would not have been possible.

"who here gave their last full measure of devotion."
