What a great day we had today at Antietam Battlefield in Maryland. Today was the annual Civil War Preservation Trust Park Day. We got to plant different types of trees in a part of the battlefield that few people get to see. We were right along the Antietam Creek. The kinds of trees we planted where red buds, witch hazel, and a type of maple tree. Check out these photos of my friend CJ planting trees and helping to preserve our history.
Here we are learning how to properly plant the trees

After lunch a group of Sergeants and Sergeant Majors from Connecticut pulled in to the park. They were there to learn about the battle and I got to ask one of them some questions. Hope you enjoy my small interview with him.
It is important that we save our Civil War battlefields so that everyone can enjoy them and to learn more about our history.
Proud to be an American everyday...
Pete
