On this day...

On this date in 1993, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania and thousands of Freemasons dedicated the Friend to Friend Masonic Monument in the cemetery in Gettysburg, commemorating acts of kindness between Freemasons who fought on opposite sides in the American Civil War.

I visited the battlefield years ago and saw this statue. Even though I was not a Mason at the time it was still a moving memorial.
