:thumbup: Yep, and now it's the Democrats with heroes like George Soros attempting to remove or revise our history all over this country.
Since the number of dead at Gettysburg was approximately 7058, Union AND Confederate there is NO WAY they could have brought back 18,000 from Gettysburg. Get your facts straight.

Here is an extract from:
http://www.hollywoodcemetery.org/about/our-history1866 The Hollywood Ladies Memorial Association was founded to care for the graves of Confederate soldiers. The association reinterred an estimated 7,000 bodies from the Gettysburg battlefield to Hollywood Cemetery.
1869 The Pyramid, a monument dedicated to the Confederate soldiers buried at Hollywood, was erected due largely to the efforts of the Hollywood Ladies Memorial Association.
1872-1873 Confederate dead from the battle of Gettysburg were reinterred in Hollywood Cemetery in six shipments, arriving by steamship. The bodies were buried on a small rise in the Soldiers Section, now known as Gettysburg Hill.

Extract from:
http://www.civilwar.org/battlefields/gettysburg/assets/ten-facts-about/ten-facts-about-gettysburg.htmlFact #2: The First Days battle was a much larger engagement than is generally portrayed.
The first days fighting (at McPhersons Ridge, Oak Hill, Oak Ridge, Seminary Ridge, Barlows Knoll and in and around the town) involved some 50,000 soldiers of which roughly 15,500 were killed, wounded, captured or missing. The first day in itself ranks as the 12th bloodiest battle of the Civil Warwith more casualties than the battles of Bull Run and Franklin combined.
Fact #3: The Second Days Battle was the largest and costliest of the three days.
The second days fighting (at Devils Den, Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, the Peach Orchard, Cemetery Ridge, Trostles Farm, Culps Hill and Cemetery Hill) involved at least 100,000 soldiers of which roughly 20,000 were killed, wounded, captured or missing. The second day in itself ranks as the 10th bloodiest battle of the Civil Warwith far more casualties than the much larger Battle of Fredericksburg.
