Biglerville High School student research soldier in Gettysbug National Cemetery – Gettysburg Connection

This week Biglerville High School sophomore American History students recently participated in a National Park Service program that involved each student researching and sharing information about a soldier who was killed on D-Day and buried in the Gettysburg National Cemetery.
Students visited the Eisenhower National Historic Site and the cemetery, guided by park ranger Dan Vermilya. The classroom and trip activities included studies of the landings on D-Day, General Eisenhower’s leadership and the men that he led on that day of days.
History teacher Dawn Hardman commented that, “this is an excellent opportunity for our students to authentically use primary sources in a historic setting.” History teacher Wesley Heyser observed that, “Dan Vermilya has curated an excellent collection of source materials that creates an opportunity for our students to study these men and then recognize their sacrifices in the national cemetery.”
This is the sixth year that Biglerville students have participated in this program (trips did not occur in the 2020 or 2021 due to the pandemic). As in past years, this field trip was made possible by the Canner Educational Foundation Grant program and the Eisenhower National Historic Site.
