That's right. It's the 156th anniversary of the Second Battle of Fredericksburg, which occurred on May 3rd, 1863. I happened to be on site today and took this picture of the sunken road at the base of the heights where units of Sedgwick's 6th corps defeated the Barksdale's Confederate troops.
Here is a good view from the Lacey House on Stafford Heights where Union generals in their headquarters area could view Fredericksburg.
