12th NH
I am a member of the 5th NHVI Reenactors. We make an annual trip to Gettysburg for Remembrance Day in Nov. around the weekend anniversary of the Gettysburg address. Each year we get a permit to march in the park with full uniform and muskets and we choose to stop at various memorials and a volunteer will read of the actions which occurred there. Two years ago I chose the 12th NH (I live in Northfield and this area was a major recruiting ground for the 12th). I have studied the Battle fairly well and the 12th's actions on Day 2 is quite a story.
From the memorial: "Our Union is river, lake, ocean and sky;
Man breaks not the medal, when God cuts the die"
