MVO1: Gettysburg, 1863. The nation’s fate hung in the balance, as Confederate General Robert E. Lee faced off against Union General George Meade. General Lee…

MVO2: To settle the war, we decided to thumb wrestle. But Meade refused to cut his nails, which had grown long and unruly, giving the Yankee an ungentlemanly advantage.

MVO1: When a Southern lieutenant attempted to clip Meade’s nails against his will, the quiet Pennsylvania countryside exploded. General Meade…

MVO2: Our opening salvo of 'your-mother' jokes brought tears to their Southern eyes. The Rebels were ill-equipped to handle such trash-talking, and could only muster an 'I’m rubber and you’re glue' comeback.

MVO1: Four months later, on this same piece of hallowed ground, President Lincoln would inspire the nation with his speech, 'How to Buy Real Estate with No Money Down'.

MVO2: We preserve our history. Or we lose it. Help Gettysburg and other national historic sites get the Federal funding they deserve. Visit npca.org.
