A few years ago, the SCV laid a plaque at my g-grandfathers grave. It was a very impressive and beautiful ceremony, complete with horses, period costumes, a 21 gun salute, and several different Confederate battle flags I’d never seen before.
This summer we lost the last two sons of Confederate Soldiers that resided in Mississippi and both were from Corinth. One man's Father was a private in the unit where my GGGF was a Sgt. and he was this man's father's Sgt.(7th Ms Cavalry). The last widow of a Confederate Soldier in Ms lived here in Corinth and passed away back in 1987. The Civil War to many is just a generation or two away. Many of us, including myself, live and work on battlefields.
