I don't want to make today's blog too long as I have something to say about what I saw....
It is just sobering to see these cemeteries... it was so long ago and we were fighting amongst ourselves then too, as other countries are STILL doing today....
There was one memorial, just a field to honor of the men who lost their lives in WWII. Carved on a rock was the saying:
"there is just the twinkling of a star between a man of peace and a man of war"
Felt it was very apt for what is going on in the world today as we ponder what is happening around the world... so very sad.....
There were about 4000 memorials/grave sites of men from the Confederacy buried in this space.. they liken it as the 'Andersonville" of the North.. I never knew that......
Here we are the ones who spent the day together today... me, Guthrie and Patti (remember Patti was the one who came to visit me for a week in April, took her to the beach)
Take Care All & God Bless
Ponder the saying and the twinkling stars................
I think somewhere in my genealogy is a man who died in that prison.
