  5. Sad to think of those soldiers dying in the hospital, rather than at home, but definitely a better place than the battlefields.

  6. I wonder how long it will take for someone to insist this history be erased along with all the others who honor those who died in the war between the states. It's sad that we can't learn the lessons there are to be had without trying to erase the history that taught those lessons.

  7. Whenever I come across a similar type of memorial I always take time out for a minute or two of thought and reflections.
