I was here over the Memorial day weekend. I caught the last part of a ceremony that was going on. It looked really cool. Military personnel and guys as Confederate soldiers were paying tribute to the soldiers buried in the cemetery. It's located in Sharpsburg Maryland just down the road from Antietam Battlefield. A must visit where in the area.
