Today, the Pennsylvania Gaming Commission held a hearing on the proposed casino in Gettysburg. The fight is definitely not over and the Civil War Preservation Trust needs your support to fight this abomination. There is no reason to build this casino adjacent to one of the most hallowed pieces of ground in the United States. There are several other cities competing to have this casino – let it go anywhere but Gettysburg.
The following linked video, “Our Gettysburg Legacy,” was played during today’s hearing. Many famous celebrities volunteered their time to make the video. Please click on the link and watch the video. If you are able to donate to the Civil War Preservation Trust for this campaign, click HERE. United, we can win – Divided we WILL lose. God Bless the USA.
“Our Gettysburg Legacy” featuring Ken Burns, Matthew Broderick, Sam Waterston, Stephen Lang, David McCullough and others.
About Michael Noirot
I grew up in the Central Illinois farming community, of Dunlap. Growing up, I played sports, tinkered with cars and enjoyed photography. While I did well in school, I did not become passionate about history until my early 30's.
I have built a large library, of books on early America, politics and the Civil War. I am an avid reader. Fortunately, I have had plenty of opportunities to travel, over the years, and have been to most of the Civil War battlefields. I work while I travel, so more often than not, I am up, in the middle of the night, to get sunrise pictures, or I will be out until well after dark, exploring Civil War battlefields.
I have other hobbies, and passions, that I really enjoy. Number one on the list would be guitar. I play my guitars on a regular basis, and enjoy the Bluegrass, and Contemporary Christian (CCM) genres. I play a style of guitar, called FLATPICKING, where using a flat pick, you play lead solos, similar to the way a fiddle would have been played during the 19th and early 20th Centuries.
Laura, my wife, and I also enjoy scuba diving, travel and spending time at our property, in the country. Lastly, we spend as much time with our families, as possible. Thanks for stopping by.
