Does sound reminiscent of my tractor on a cold morning,

Yes.

No idea

Huey, Dewey, and Gort, although they could also be Larry, Darryl and Darryl

I have been looking at several websites that have pictures of monuments at Gettysburg, Have not found this one. It would be interesting to know what is written in what appears to be a book on the pedestal. Looks like a big pile of cannon balls in the back of the picture. Those I would imagine have been removed to keep people from stealing them.

That's the "High Water Mark of the Rebellion" monument...probably on the shortlist for removal in the current environment. It sits directly behind the "copse" of trees that was the Confederate's objective for the great charge on the 3rd day.

This is one of the only monuments on the field with its cannonballs intact. Many years ago every cannon on the field featured a small pyramid of balls, but those have all been removed. The small concrete plinth remains adjacent to each gun.

I have yet to hear of any under the Federal Gov't or Nat'l Park Service be removed - there are some in the Capitol building in DC for Confederates.
