Gettysburg Battlefield, FYI the North Won!

????

Back in October, while the weather was still bearable, my family and I took part in the Gettysburg Battlefield Tour. We wanted to have a mini vacation that was mostly outdoors because of COVID. The area we visited was beautiful, but the story about the land was tragic. So many people died on those grounds fighting for our freedom.

During the tour, we learned so much about how our country came to be.  Recognizing that our country only exists as it does today because of those who sacrificed their lives all those years ago, was a humbling experience. Within our tour group, there were people who wanted a new experience (like me and my family), history buffs, and right-winged patriots – quite the interesting mix.

Side note: my family and I were annoyed because President-elect Joe Biden was scheduled to visit the day we were leaving – missed him by just a few hours. Seeing him in person would have made the trip even better, nonetheless we had a great time.

C47 D-day Flight Experience

C47 D-day Flight Experience

| What a great weekend to experience American Airpower Museum’s (AAM) WWII reenactment by taking the C47 D-day Flight Experience. It was such a thrill to take a fight in such a historic plane, the Douglass C-47 “Skytrain” a.k.a. SECOND CHANCE. So proud to be contributing to the preservation of our US History and honoring those who have fought to protect this country! Highlights include “dressing the part”, speaking with the pilots in the cockpit mid-flight, pretending to do a jump, the scenic view.

A Big Thanks to our Pilot (Jim Vocell) and Co-Pilots on the flight as well as to all the event staff and volunteers (many of which are veterans). +++ Not to mention Jeff & Jacky Clyman.
