Fredericksburg honors sacrifice made 150 years ago
Soldiers from the Sandston-based Battery A, 1st Battalion, 111th Field Artillery Regiment, 116th Brigade Combat Team and the Fredericksburg-based 116th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 116th Brigade Combat Team participate in the sesquicentennial celebration of the Battle of Fredericksburg Dec. 9. Elements of the New York-based Company A, 1st Battalion, 69th Infantry and the 116th BCT greeted each other on the Sunken Road where they met 150 years ago – then as enemies, today as friends. The ceremony ended with a canon salute and the playing of Taps. Afterward attendees were invited to lay flowers on the wall in honor of those who fought during the Civil War. (Photo by Staff Sgt.
