A determined band of 69th soldiers under the command of Brevet Sergeant

regiment at the 156th anniversary of Gettysburg July 5-7. With no officers or
non-comms attending the members of the 69th fought as part of the 2nd Rhode
Island regiment during weekend battles. Private Paul Laspino and his wife
