November 19 is Remembrance Day in Gettysburg. It is the anniversary of the dedication of the National Cemetery, the date when President Abraham Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address. Remembrance Day is celebrated with parades, dedication ceremonies, and volunteers marking the graves in the cemetery with flags and luminaries.
Here are a few photographs of a sampling of the activities from Remembrance Day 2010. Thanks to Chet, Jeannine, Bruce and Marcia!
