I have had the honor of attending many Remembrance Day ceremonies at Gettysburg. One year, I was part of the honor guard that escorted Mrs. Alberta Martin, who was believed at the time to be the last surviving Confederate widow, to meet a very elderly black woman who was the last known Union widow. Somewhere I have a picture of these two ladies in their wheel chairs shaking hands.

Last time I checked, the Maryland Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans has one member who is a Real Son - his father was a Confederate soldier.
