Joshua Enlists in the Union Army

Today, we visited the Gettysburg National Park Museum. While there, JA took part in a Junior Ranger Program where the kids enlist in the Union Army for 3 years (the Ranger said it would only feel like an hour, tho). The kids learned how the soldiers were cleared medically, then drill, then taken into the battlefield for a mock battle.

Following the battle, they were given Honorable Discharges.
