Spring 2012 Seminar: The Gettysburg Medals of Honor
April 13-14, 2012
The Association of Licensed Battlefield Guides, Inc. proudly announces
the 2012 edition of its popular spring seminar series. Our
spring
program will focus on the officers and enlisted men who received the
Medal of Honor for action at the Battle of Gettysburg.
Sixty-three
Medals of Honor were ultimately awarded Union soldiers for Gettysburg
actions with a possible sixty-fourth in the works. In addition, a
numberof souther soldiers were placed on the Confederate Roll of Honor
as authorized by General Orders 93 dated November 22, 1862. These will
be the focus of this weekend event.
The seminar includes a Friday night
reception
and
presentation, followed by Saturday’s all-day program in the field. In
addition
to detailed tours and presentations by expert Licensed Battlefield
Guides, participants
will receive transportation, maps and materials, lunch, and the chance
to
better understand the men who's actions earned them their nation's
highest accolade.
