I have visited the Antietam National Battlefield Park on 2 occasions. I have stood where all this happened and tried to visualize what horrid carnage was there so long ago. It truly must have been just plain awful. The area is quiet now. Nothing there to show what once was, with so many lives lost. Places such as this, and many more, are Hallowed Ground.
