Quote:President Trump donated the first few months of his White House salary to Antietam National Battlefield, the national park in Maryland that preserves the hallowed ground of the bloodiest day of the Civil War, the government said Wednesday.

Mr. Trump’s first quarter salary of $78,333 was matched by an anonymous donor who gave another $22,000, bringing the gift to $100,000, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said.

The donation will restore an historic house on the battlefield, and will help replace fencing.

“As both the Secretary of the Interior and a military veteran, I’m deeply honored and humbled to deliver the donation to Antietam National Battlefield on behalf of President Trump,” Mr. Zinke said. “The president’s donation will allow generations of Americans to learn about our history and heritage on this sacred site.”

Always wanted to get out there.

It's only a half an hour drive for me.

It was the single bloodiest day of battle in American History. It's a feeling hard to describe walking along the Bloody Lane and imagining all the carnage that occurred on that spot a mere 150 years or so ago.

I was more moved by my few hours at Sharpsburg than the whole 3 days at Gettysburg.

The Director's Cut of Gods and Generals has a pretty awesome recreation of the battle.

Fake news. It was reported by CNN, therefore it has to be false.

Bless your heart! Now you'll be awake all night trying to resolve your dilemma!

I went to Ft. Sumter when they were commemorating the battle and then a year later to Gettysburg. Very moving especially the museum. I could have spent hours there but we couldn't we had to book.

Very nice of him
