Came here on a tour. Beautiful place with a very tragic past. I know it has meaning for many, as the battle that took place touched many many lives. One person of my tour had a grandfather who fought here. I could tell he was touched being here. It's not close to much, so coming here is a purposeful trip. I appreciated the siteI and what it represents.
Simply beautiful- you have to call in here
