140th Gettysburg Memorial March

On the morning of Thursday, August 7th, 2003, 140 years and 37 days after the Third Maine experienced its most difficult day of combat and loss just south of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, a small number of soldier reenactors from Company A and Company F walked the route of the original Third Maine on the Gettysburg National Battlefield Park. They stopped at the monuments and markers that were erected to honor the Third Maine and paid homage to all of the Maine men who fell in battle during the first three days of July, 1863. Sprigs of Maine white pine were laid on the graves of the Maine men buried in the Gettysburg National Cemetery.
