Memorial Day was recognized this past weekend across the United States, and for many of us, discussed this week in our classrooms. One of the greater challenges as teachers can be how to teach our students to understand the sacrifices the men and women in the Armed Forces have made for our country. However, one youth group in particular is leading the way.
Topics: Gettysburg
Even those who know little of the Civil War have heard of the formative Battle of Gettysburg. In July 1863, in a small Pennsylvania hamlet, the Union Army successfully countered the last Confederate invasion of the North.
Today, it is a place that memorializes the challenges of living out our nation’s founded principles, making Gettysburg a popular stop for school groups visiting the historic East Coast.
