MCL - North to Gettysburg

For your Marine Corps League detachment, Military Historical Tours (MHT) is excited to announce our “North to Gettysburg!” tour. Begin with a short symposium on the battlefields of First & Second Manassas, Antietam, and Gettysburg. Then walk the hallowed grounds with us. Stand at the statue of Thomas J. Jackson at Manassas, where he earned the name, “Stonewall.” At Antietam, walk through the Wheatfield, Dunker Church, and Bloody Lane. Walk across Burnside’s Bridge. Next explore Gettysburg from Cemetery Hill, Culp’s Hill, Seminary Ridge, McPherson’s Ridge, the Devil’s Den, Slaughter Pen, Peach Orchard, Wheatfield, and the two Round tops. As a bonus, visit the Eisenhower Farm and the Museum of Civil War Medicine, in Frederick Maryland. The dates of the tour are 4 – 10 November 2020. Come join us. Detailed information is available at “miltours.com”.

MHT’s What in the World?

This month’s WITW is a history question related to the United States 224th Birthday.

Q. What is the original name of the “Star-Spangled Banner?” (song, not the flag)

A. First correct response to reveille@miltours.com will receive a shout-out and a $100 discount for any future travel with MHT. May not be combined with any other offers. MCL 6
