Along the top it reads: "75TH ANNIVERSARY 1863 - 1938" and along the bottom: "BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG". The 1938 reunion gathered approximately 25 veterans of the battle and 72 with a father, and the veterans averaged 94 years of age at the time. It was an historical day, Roosevelt gave the address, which preceded the unveiling of the Eternal Light Peace Memorial. A portion of the address given by President Roosevelt on that July 3rd became part of a newsreel included in the Westinghouse Time Capsule at the 1939 World's Fair in New York.
