May 21st

Posted on May 22, 2026 By BD No Comments on May 21st

Two important birthdays just had to happen on the same day here in Gettysburg. Ms. Jennie Wade was born on May 21, 1843. Her birthday pal turned 5 years old today and wanted to celebrate her birthday with coming to see her on their special day. She couldn’t get out of the car, but she made sure she wined a little to say “Happy Birthday”.

Happy Birthday to Ms. Jennie Wade and Layla.
