The 20th Maine Volunteers saved the day at Gettysburg.
Volunteers.
I wonder how those vets would feel about this flag burning?
Gettysburg was the south's high water mark... And they came VERY close to winning. Had they won, the war might have had a very different ending.
On the far left flank of the Union army was Little Round Top, The south stormed uphill.
Had they pulled it off, they would have been able to put artillery up there BEHIND the Union Lines -- devastating the "fish hook"... It would have been a rout.
But the brave and brilliant Colonel Chamberlain of the 20th Maine volunteers fought them off using textbook tactics until eventually running out of ammunition and resorting to a bayonet charge.
After the battle, Lincoln gave his Gettysburg "all men are created equal" address.
You'd have to be incredibly -- willfully -- ignorant to believe Gettysburg is an appropriate place to burn a flag.
