Gettysburg Remembrance Day Parade 2022

The Remembrance Day Parade in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is held once each year along Baltimore Avenue. This is from the view of Brickhouse Inn, which sits at the best location or parades as they pass by and turn on Steinwehr Avenue, allowing guests to stay on porch swings and on the front lawn that is elevated to watch the parade from comfortably above the crowd.
The parade takes place in the afternoon and is part of a larger weekend-long event that includes the Dedication Ceremony in the morning at the Gettysburg National Cemetery, and a solemn Illumination in the evening. The parade walks down Baltimore Ave, the street where Abraham Lincoln traversed on horseback on his way to the cemetery to deliver the Gettysburg Address. The other two events take place in the cemetery itself. The Dedication Day Ceremony takes place in the spot where Lincoln delivered his address, and the illumination is held in the same cemetery later in the evening.
Parade: Nearly a thousand Civil War reenactors in full gear on foot and on horseback walk down Baltimore St and Steinwehr Ave, with live bands playing as they march.
Dedication Day Ceremony: A moving event, the 2022 event included a citizenship ceremony, remarks, and a moving speech to remember why the Battle of Gettysburg - and the Civil War- was necessary to fight, and to win. Includes a Civil War Band and other ceremonies honoring those who fought and died in the Battle of Gettysburg.
Illumination: The third must-do event is a solemn evening walk through the paper and candle-illuminated lined Gettysburg National Cemetery, which we will show in a separate video.

So glad to see that people can still unite to celebrate history

[@Stevarino1020]

Wonderful video Lets hope this continues for another 100 years. A monumental and horrible battle that was a pivotal point in the nation's history. We need to preserve our history not erase it.

[@aimeretaud853]

I'm sorry, it is not a ceremony, but it is a military parade. I would like to see this parade one day in the future, perhaps in one year or two in Gettysburg with my family. I think will be a great opportunity for me and a great remember. Thank you for this marvelous video on KZbin. From France 🇫🇷🤗❤️👍👍👍

It 's cool still to see Confederate flags on American streets.

[@carolanncesare7170]

Our American history tells the story of the Greatest nation on earth, it happened the way it did, leave it alone ! President Lincoln’s favorite song was “Dixie “

[@Zarastro54]

If only DeSantis and his cronies realized this.

[@jonathanbair523]

Did I miss the 1st Minnesota Vol go by? I want to say they mustered with 1,009 men... Was only expected to get 1,000.. If I remember my state history correctly.

[@EddieLeal]

No Lincoln or Davis?Would have been nice to add them to the parade.

[@aplays89]

I’m in this somewhere

[@EddieLeal]

This is one of my things to do before I die, Gettysburg or BUST! 😁

[@SouthernGentleman]

Thank you all for remembering and respecting history! The communists and socialists are not going to like this 😂

[@Zarastro54]

Why? Only rightoids are trying to rewrite history.

[@EddieLeal]

21:27 Gen Lee should have been riding his white horse Traveler.

Surprised they were allowed to fly the Confederate flags; you know how it is these days!

[@DariusOfPersia]

It makes sense in this context. Where it gets a little weird is when people fly Confederate flags because "it's their heritage." Yeah, it's your heritage, but it's an absolutely horrible part of your heritage which you really shouldn't be proud of. You don't see Germans waving the Nazi flag because it's part of their heritage and their history.

[@TorryGood]

The battle flag is protected under 1st amendment. People get so salty about that flag any more.

[@DariusOfPersia]

@@TorryGood It's protected, but it's still pretty damn stupid to display it. Like I said, it might be part of your history, but it's an absolutely terrible part of your history that you shouldn't be proud of. It'd be like a German flying a swastika because his grandfather served in World War II. That's illegal in Germany, but it's the same idea and same level of stupid.

[@TorryGood]

@@DariusOfPersia i was born and live in pennsylvania. I'm part of union infantry group. Iv had colored people all ready get offended by wearing Federal uniform. Did all confederate soldiers own slaves? No most of them did not, they Enlisted for their state. As I would have done.

[@DariusOfPersia]

@@TorryGood Most Confederate soldiers did not own slaves, true. Whether they owned slaves or not, they were fighting for slavery. They knew that, and they were proud of it. They said as much themselves. Slavery was the entire reason for secession and the war.

[@Ecthelion1967]

Great respect to all who partipate. but when you are wearing a uniform YOU must march to the beat!

[@billredding2000]

NOT "great respect" to participants, but you are 100% correct otherwise: I couldn't believe how careless/sloppy they "marched." The Confederates looked like random deserters out on the street after a night at the local tavern; the Union soldiers looked only slightly better. BOTH sides looked like crap, period. Don't tell me this is the way they marched when on parade in the 1860s -- they definitely did NOT. There's NO reason both sides couldn't look sharp, focused, eyes ahead (not smiling and looking around like fools) and in step/cadence. ...but since they didn't seem to care about any of that, this embarrassing "tradition" will continue as-is. I'm positive if soldiers from back then could see this disgraceful "marching" today they'd be pretty angry being portrayed as no-account rabble. If you're going to do reenactments, TRAIN to do them right and with precision. Save the waddling down the street like a flock of ducks for some other nonsense "living history" BS. -- BR
