“
Ever since the battle on July 1-3, 1863, ended, Gettysburg has been a remarkable place of kindness, of remembrance and reconciliation. This began immediately after the battle as local residents cared for the injured soldiers of both armies.
Duty is the most sublime word in our language. Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more. You should never wish to do less.
Robert E. Lee
I expect to be deprived of my command; but my men’s lives are too valuable to be sacrificed for popularity. I could not do it.
George Meade
Veterans from both sides of the 1863 battle returned to Gettysburg in 1913 to honor the fallen, reminisce with their friends and extend their hands to their former enemies over fences where they once fired.
