Remebrance Day in Gettysburg will be held on November 19th this year. Along with the usual parade, The Army of the Ohio will be marching to the National Cemetery to place a wreath at the Ohio marker.
Col Ruley has mentioned that they would like to honor an Ohio unit with a memorial service. The choice is naturally the 5th as we are the only unit in The Army of the Ohio whose original members fought at Gettysburg. I am coordinating with the Colonel. A nice showing of our members would be great.
Our Chairman Ken and I spoke this weekend. We have the event on the schedule as a unit support activity. Starting with the first regular unit meeting on September 8th, we will be discussing plans for the parade. Please take some time to drop Ken an email at kphblh@wadsnet.com if you are interesting in attending the Gettysburg event.
Cheers,
The Skipper
