The monument to Union General George Meade. General Meade had only been in command of the Union army for a couple days when the Confederate army, trying to sneak into the north and capture Harrisburg, collided with his army here in the town of Gettysburg. If it was not for the Union victory here, we would most likely not be the united, great country we are today. Meade, and the actions of his army in the 3 days in July 1863, did in fact save our country.  © Mike Lynaugh
