. . . the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here . . .
147 years ago on July 1, 1863 the first shots were fired near the small town of Gettysburg, PA. Confederate General Robert E. Lee did not intend to fight here, but fate brought the Union and Confederate armies together to clash among the hills and fields of Gettysburg. At the end of the 3 day battle, there were between 46,000 and 51,000 casualties. Gettysburg remains the bloodiest battle in American history. For many it marks the "high water" mark of the Confederacy. In November 1863 Abraham Lincoln came to the dedication of the Soldier's National Cemetery to delivery one of the most infamous speeches in history. Today the battlefield is maintain and preserved by the National Park System. More than 1.6 million people visit the park each year.
To honor the sacrifice made by all those brave men who gave the last full measure of devotion, I am offering a pack of three templates based off of three of my Gettysburg National Military park layouts.
Links to the original layouts:

This link will only be available July 1 - 3. After July 3 this pack of templates will not be available again.
We must never forget what they did at Gettysburg. We owe the men who paid the ultimate sacrifice here 147 years ago so much. Please take a time to remember them today and to say thank you for their sacrifices.
