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….
