"Old Simon" as he is called is at the Center of the Antietam National Cemetery. This is one of my favorite monuments. The words, "Not for themselves, but for their country," are inscribed on the monument. It is a beautiful monument. The one photo at the bottom of the Michigan grave is actually from our 2004 trip to the battlefield. The words on the right side are from "Bivouac of the Dead," which is a poem by Theodore O'Hara featured on several plaques around the cemetery:

"The muffled drum's sad roll has beat
The soldier's last Tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead."
