Bailey Coach has invited veterans from York and Adams County to Gettysburg for a day of dedication and remembrance on Friday, Nov. 9. A total of 425 veterans and guests transported on eight buses are expected to descend upon historic Gettysburg for museum and tour experiences, speakers and a wreath laying ceremony at the Eternal Light Peace Memorial. For the past three years, Bailey Coach has been bringing veterans to war monuments around the region. Since the inaugural year, over 1,500 veterans and guests have been transported free of charge to Washington, DC and Arlington. The day will kick off with a tour of the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum & Visitor Center experience followed by a Licensed Battlefield Guided Tour. The group will then go to Wyndham Gettysburg for lunch and a program by Tigrett Corp that highlights the WWII history in Gettysburg. The day will conclude with a wreath laying ceremony at the Eternal Light Peace Memorial at 3:30 p.m. This ceremony will include a speech from a surprise guest and a tribute from the Biglerville American Legion.
