In Tribute to Brotherhood: Thousands At Dedication Seventeen Grand Masters among Distinguished Guests for Historic Dedication Events The Dedication of the Friend to Friend Masonic Memorial Monument, Plaza, and enhanced National Military Cemetery at Gettysburg was a historic occasion for Freemasonry and the people of the United States. The striking, larger-than-life statue of Union Captain and Brother Henry Bingham coming to the aid of Confederate General and Brother Lewis Armistead during Pickett's Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg now stands as a lasting tribute to the bonds of Brotherhood that transcends political differences and the emotions of war. Commissioned and placed by The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, the Monument honors all Freemasons who fought in all the wars and conflicts of the country. Seventeen Most Worshipful Grand Masters were among the sixty-one Fraternal dignitaries from across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico who were in Gettysburg to participate in the Dedication of the Friend Story on page 10
