The sun shines down on the battlefields of the past. We focus on what happened here: the blood spilled, the lives lost, the causes fought for, and the significance of that day in a war long past. Antietam is not just a name. It is place in time and in history. In the single bloodiest day in American history brothers in arms fought each other over fields, roads, and bridges where 22,000 casualties fell with valor, bravery, and honor May the souls of those who fought here find peace.
