葛底斯堡退伍军人节向退伍军人免费开放 内战影片与环形画迎客
位于宾夕法尼亚州亚当斯县 Gettysburg 的葛底斯堡基金会11月11日退伍军人节当天举行年度「退伍军人感谢日」：退伍军人凭服役证明，可免费体验葛底斯堡国家军事公园博物馆与游客中心的影片、环形画与博物馆展览，当天最后一场于下午4点15分开始。
免费体验包括讲述葛底斯堡战役的影片《自由的新生》（A New Birth of Freedom）、描绘皮克特冲锋的葛底斯堡环形画声光演出，以及12个展厅组成的美国内战博物馆。葛底斯堡战役发生于1863年，是美国内战的转折点，林肯总统同年在当地发表的葛底斯堡演说成为美国历史上最著名的演说之一。现役军人则可全年免费参观。
葛底斯堡基金会是葛底斯堡国家军事公园的官方合作伙伴，负责运营博物馆与游客中心并支持战场保护。基金会临时总裁兼首席执行官 Barbara Sardella 表示，退伍军人节是向老兵致谢的日子，基金会希望以免费开放请他们走进这段历史。

Gettysburg Welcomes Veterans Free on Veterans Day With Film, Cyclorama and Museum
The Gettysburg Foundation in Gettysburg, Adams County, Pennsylvania, marked Veterans Day on November 11 with its annual Veterans Appreciation Day: veterans showing proof of service received free admission to the film, cyclorama and museum experience at the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center, with the last show of the day beginning at 4:15 p.m.
The free experience includes "A New Birth of Freedom," the film narrating the Battle of Gettysburg; the Gettysburg Cyclorama, a sound-and-light presentation of the monumental painting depicting Pickett's Charge; and the 12-gallery Museum of the American Civil War. The 1863 Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point of the Civil War, and President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, delivered there the same year, became one of the most famous speeches in American history. Active-duty military members receive free admission year-round.
The Gettysburg Foundation is the official partner of Gettysburg National Military Park, operating the museum and visitor center and supporting battlefield preservation. Barbara Sardella, the foundation's interim president and CEO, said Veterans Day is a day to thank those who served, and the foundation hopes the free admission invites them into the history preserved there.
