December 1, 2007
Held on the first Saturday of December, the National Park Service and many volunteers hold an annual illumination on the Antietam Battlefield. Antietam was the bloodiest one day battle of the Civil War with 23,110 soldiers killed, wounded or missing. Approximately 1,400 volunteers place the 23,000 luminaries over the battlefield. It is truly an amazing sight which every person should experience. A few photos from the evening.
