Gen. Frank Grass, Chief of the National Guard Bureau addresses more than 140 National Guard soldiers from Maine and Alabama during a ceremony held on Little Round Top in Gettysburg, Pa., July 17. The Guardsmen met to commemorate the soldiers from each state that died 150 years ago during the historic battle between the 20th Maine Infantry Regiment and the 15th Alabama Volunteer Infantry Regiment. "I encourage you to continue studying history, study as many of these individuals that fought here. Where they came from was the same place you came from. They were citizens, they were militia. You are citizens, you are militia and you continue to answer the call." (Maine Army National Guard photo by Spc. Adam Simmler, 121st Public Affairs Detachment.)
