I took a stroll through the Marietta National Military Cemetery on Saturday morning. This cemetery, located in the heart of historic Marietta, was created to bury approximately 10,000 Union dead from General Sherman’s Army of the Tennessee.

Blog Comment Spam
Everybody gets spam emails. I you happen to run a website that allows comments, you’ll also get spam comments. They amuse me because they make an effort to have it sound like its real stuff, to get the past filters, but it’s stuff like this. Magnificent beat ! I would like to apprentice while you …
