From the Brigade Commander ~ December 2022

The Fall, 2022, issue of Hallowed Ground includes a listing of the members of the Color Bearer Society of the American Battlefield Trust (ABT). Among them (once again): The CWRT of Eastern Pa., Inc. (in the $2,500 - $4,900 category). Calling its Color Bearers “extremely generous,” the ABT thanks these individuals, organizations and families, which represent just three percent of ABT’s total membership, for their “extraordinary commitment to the mission of saving our nation’s most hallowed ground.” Nearly 50 percent of all gifts received by the ABT come from members of the Color Bearer Society.

In the midst of the current turbulence that we are all living through, we can take heart in knowing that Round Table members, past and present, have and are making an important and lasting, positive contribution to America and Americans. Congratulations to us all!

Look inside the December Newsletter for news about future volunteering opportunities at Gettysburg National Military Park, information about our December 6 lecture/speaker and a local Civil War learning opportunity, plus coming releases of Civil War books, including a few written especially for kids, releasing just in time for the soon-to-arrive season of gift giving.

Wishing you and yours all of the hope, joy and wonder that the Season can bring!
