Bump for the veterans who served on both sides of the late War. They were Americans all, and deserving of our respect.
I do a lot of research on old newspapers on microfilm. I copied a drawing from the Spanish American war. There are two civil war veterans, one Union the other Confederate flanking a young soldier. The caption is ''united at last''
I also found the obit of a Confederate soldier who died in April of 1948. He was a black soldier and the DAC would often visit him at the nursing home he spent his last years. According to the newspaper article he was with the 16th Virginia Infantry.
