Just as a follow-up, here's the honor roll of those names inscribed on the monument - representing those who died in captivity. Please stand and sing a verse of "Amazing Grace" in honor of:

Cpl T. J. Rountree, "F" Co, 3rd Regiment, Tennessee

And so as to not slight those who died in that God-forsaken place, but were buried there and did not have their names inscribed on the monument, please stand for the playing of Taps and salute:

Sgt Merida M. Rountree, Co. "D", 59th Regiment, Georgia

And so many others.... may they rest in peace.

Frank
