    154th anniversary today!!

    Today 154 yeas ago, the battle of Antietam/Sharpsburg occurred! I figured it be appropriate to make this thread to tell everyone!
    "If we were wrong in our contest, then the Declaration of Independence of 1776 was a grave mistake and the revolution to which it led was a crime. If Washington was a patriot; Lee cannot have been a rebel."

    Remember the dead and honor those fought in the cornfields, the lanes, woods and the bridges.
    First Sergeant Joseph P. Brevett of Company B, 2nd Maryland Infantry

    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
    For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
    This day shall gentle his condition;- William Shakespeare, Henry V

    The Great War had also been raging for almost 2 years at this point 100 years ago and to be more specific the Somme Offensive was beginning its later stages.
