| Burnside Bridge Antietam Battlefield July 28, 2018 |
It is important to immerse in history and honor the past. Burnside Bridge was the scene of fighting and I was amazed to learn that the tree at the end of the bridge was there during the battle. It was a fascinating piece of history.
Returning to the battlefield is sobering. Recounting the struggles that happened during that fateful day during September 1862 remind me of the past from which our nation is forged. The 23,000 casualties are mind numbing.
And now the landscape is bucolic and peaceful. Only hints of the horrors of that day remain.
An important piece of American history that needs to be remembered.
