A museum was dedicated to the more than 800,000
Americans who have been held as POWs during U.S. history.

The museum is located in Andersonville, Ga. where
13,000 Union POWs were starved to death by
sadistic Confederates during the American Civil War.

Former POW, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was the main speaker.

5,000 people attended the ceremony, most were former POWs.

The museum cost $5.8 million. Half came from private donations,
Congress managed to come up w/ the other half after they
were finished giving $3 billion in welfare to Israel. 

The 10,000 sq. ft. museum is next to the former prison that is now
the Andersonville National Historic site.

 The N.Y. times managed to put the story on page A18.
