  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4hBCpqjONY&amp;t=2550">42:30</a>: Medal of Honor recipient Joseph Keene is my Great Great Grandfather! &nbsp;He was born 4/3/1839 in England. &nbsp;He died at the age of 82 on 12/1/1921 around the town of Chadwicks NY. &nbsp;He is buried in Whitesboro NY. &nbsp;Thank you for mentioning him in this video. &nbsp;I&apos;m looking at his medal right now. Someday I very much hope to get the chance to walk that field, retrace his steps and bring his medal back to that site.

  I lived in Fredericksburg from &apos;93 to &apos;97 and visited all the battlefields in the area. &nbsp;My house was across the river to the north just &nbsp;a block away from where the Union launched hot air observation balloons. &nbsp;My property was site of a NY Engineer unit camp.

  I was born if Fredericksburg in 1958 and lived on a farm there we found all kinds of war relics there the rapp. River bordered our farm i can still remember the cannon dug outs on our side facing the yankee lines even found a cannonball there, moved here to N.C with my family in 1970, my school bus would go through Marie s heights &nbsp;and down sunken road 5 days a week i still remember the rock wall, they closed the rd there the last time i visited about 7 years ago. Why i have no idea. But we used to ride down it,not thinking how many men died there.....
