Steeler fans who enjoy Gettysburg (Penn: high school, retired, cemetery)

[gmagoo]

There may be a few battlefield visitors or people may want to pass this useless tidbit to friends who visit the battlefield. Steve Courson is buried in Gettysburg`s Evergreen cemetery that was there during the battle. He was born in Massachusetts and grew up in Gettysburg where his high school football number is retired. He may be buried only a 100yds or so from where the great man gave his Gettysburg Address. To me, that tops a Super Bowl ring.

No surprise since you’re not a Stillers fan. You even complain about the owners and the outside of the stadium.

Interesting information. I need to get back to Gettysburg; it's been over 30 years since my last visit.
My great-great uncle fought there, with Co.E, 105th Pennsylvania Infantry. Out of 274 men present for duty, 12 were killed, 114 wounded ( 8 mortally), and 5 missing.
Given the current sad state of this country, I wonder if these men's sacrifice was worth it in the long run, although they did preserve the Union. That's what they fought for.

Bingo…many have zero appreciation for the sacrifices so many made to give us our freedom.

I complain about Nutting and that eyesore called Heinz Field.

Don`t miss the restored Cyclorama in the newish visitor center. Members of the Gettysburg Foundation can see it for free along with the new museum and an excellent short film.

Not to mention his fellow citizens who he considers beneath his station. Which is most people.

Is it illegal to not be a fan?

Nobody said it is. You simply complain about them, the owners, the stadium, etc…, lol.
