The Gettysburg National Cemetery is the final resting place for over 6,000 United States soldiers and veterans. Of these, over 3,500 were among the United States soldiers who died at the Battle of Gettysburg. It was here at the cemetery’s dedication ceremony, just a few months after the battle, that President Abraham Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address.

Below are just a few of the individuals interred within these hallowed grounds.

Soldier's National Cemetery

The Soldier's National Cemetery was dedicated by Abraham Lincoln November 19, 1863 with the express purpose of providing United States soldiers who'd given their last full measure in the defense of the Nation.
Our part of the unfinished work that Lincoln spoke of in his most famous 272 word is to provide our visitors a digital record of the soldiers buried within the ground of the Soldier's National Cemetery.
