Commemorating Pickett's Charge in honor of Robert B Franklin

My 4th great grandfather, 

Robert Berton Franklin, 

served in a NC regiment for two years during the Civil War. He became sick and was discharged. Robert Franklin was in Company B 34th regiment called the Sandy Run Yellow Jacket. His son, John P Franklin, was in Company I 56th regiment, called the Rutherford Rifles.  

I along with my son, Brandon, and grandson Charlie and granddaughter Brielle 

took part in the march on Weds, July 3, 2013 to commemorate Pickett's Charge. Brandon's wife, Rachel, who is from Ohio took part on the Union side. 

It was a moving experience to be able to walk in their footsteps 

of those who fought and died that fateful day in 1863.
