A couple of weeks ago I stopped at Andersonville national Cemetery on December 14. That was the day that Wreathes Across America was putting a wreath on each veterans headstone.
Andersonville is a historic civil war cemetery. My great great uncle Josiah Maddock is buried there. He was a union soldier who was captured and held at this confederate prison. He and thousands of others died of disease and dysentery. The conditions at Andersonville were horrible. Let us remember his sacrifice and all who have served and given us our freedom.
