The 160th Anniversary of the battle at Antietam Creek, Sharpsburg, MD. "Bloodiest Day In American History".
Food for thought in these times. J.O'.

I always thought the real "Hero" of the day was nurse Clara Barton...
she brought in much needed bandages and supplies and tended the wounded
right out in the battlefield....
she would later go on to found The Red Cross 20 years later !!!

I just finished reading her bio. Amazing person. Also amazing how absolutely primitive the whole attitude toward care of the wounded was. Horrible!
She single-handedly changed that. J.O'.
