Gettysburg Dedication Day is the annual anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. This is held every year on November 19. We always have a VIP speaker, a well-known politician, celebrity, etc. In the past, we have had Colin Powell, Sandra Day O’Connor, Tom Ridge, Tom Brokaw, William Rehnquist (when he was Supreme Court Chief Justice), Ken Burns and numerous other luminaries. It was recently announced that director Steven Spielberg will be the Dedication Day speaker for November 19, 2012. I expect Spielberg will be a huge draw to the always popular event. I don’t always attend, but I may have to this year. If you are coming, you should probably book a hotel asap if you plan to stay overnight. I know it’s November, but Gettysburg is busy almost all months of the year, and it is beautiful in the fall.
