Wow, a helicopter ride over Gettysburg would be amazing. I loved Gettysburg, such an amazing piece of history especially with the markers throughout the land. It really gives you a great vision of the battlefield. Yes, of what I saw through documentaries one of the biggest reasons the North won was because of taking Little Round Top. The North arrived just minutes before the South, or the outcome could have been different.
Another thing we/people don't think about. After Gettysburg was over, Soldiers left to go home from all over the North (Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, etc) The wounded leaving Gettysburg was said to be around 24 miles long.
I highly recommend getting the chance to visit and seeing the sites. If you (or anyone else) come out within the next year or two let me know. I'll try to assist with tour guiding some things most do not get to see.
Thanks, tomorrow I fly out to Guam for some work. I am looking forward to seeing the beautiful island and experiencing the culture, but also see some of the WWII areas.
