The Field of Remembrance at Gettysburg



In a poignant tribute to the sacrifices made during the Civil War, the Gettysburg Foundation has launched a remarkable installation known as the Field of Remembrance. At the heart of Gettysburg National Military Park, the display features a breathtaking 10,000 American flags, proudly standing near the Eternal Light Peace Memorial. This solemn undertaking invites visitors to reflect on the immense human cost of the Battle of Gettysburg, which resulted in over 51,000 soldiers being killed, wounded, captured, or reported missing.

The flags, sponsored by individuals, families, organizations, and businesses from across the nation, serve as a powerful reminder of both specific heroism and collective memory. Each flag is a symbol of remembrance, honoring not just those who fought in this pivotal battle but also acknowledging the ongoing legacy of service and sacrifice in the name of freedom.
