Sad to leave


And so I left Camp Atterbury, with some amazing memories and having met some incredibly committed ,and knowledgeable individuals.

 

 

I did present a Kent Police Plaque to them which now hangs proudly in the gallery of others.

 

 

My intention now was to head east towards Gettysburg, which I managed with a short stop in Columbus Ohio.

 

And so to Gettysburg: most people will know because of the Gettysburg address given by the then president Abraham Lincoln.

I arrived in late afternoon so got to the visitor centre and managed to get an audio guide for the full battlefield tour, which basically entails putting a CD into the car and letting a guide take you from ;location to location giving  a commentary about who what and where things happened. If anyone ever finds themselves here with limited time I recommend this as the most time efficient method. I am aware that my brief description doe little justice to this location

 


But it was onwards toward Yorktown Virginia, this is home to the National Search and rescue school, I was there to meet Lt Col Clarke, who is director of the USAF Search and rescue school. The base at Yorktown is an operational naval and coastguard training establishment, thus photos are forbidden, but it was a very useful day with lots of information sharing.

But onto Kitty hawk….
