(who are also U.S. Military Veterans;)
No, they are not veterans of the armed forces of the United States.
They are entitled to a VA provided head stone, which is not the same head stone provided to U.S. veterans.
In 1958, surviving widows of Confederate veterans became entitled to a pension based on their husbands service in the Confederate Army or Navy.
Neither of these actions make Confederate soldiers U.S. Veterans.
I liked how he accused BroJoeK of being a “Drama Queen”.......and then went full-tilt DQ in the same sentence!

Are you saying that Confederate Army and Navy veterans are not U.S. military veterans, are not U.S. war veterans, are not U.S. Union veterans, are not U.S. Civil War veterans, are not U.S. veterans, or combinations of those five, or something else?
