God Bless America,

And God Bless Pvt. Henry Ward, Co. D 2nd N.C. Troops. Wounded and captured at Gettysburg.

and God Bless Basil C. Manly, who's artillery battery fired 1,146 rounds in support of the battle and retreat to Funkstown.

Let us not forget the sacrifice of both sides.

One of my ancestors fought at the Peach Orchard section of Gettysburg, with the 105th Pennsylvania V.I.R.

That was a time when they built ships of wood, and men of steel.
