Our Civil War Veterans

As many of you know, Memorial Day started out as Decoration Day. A day to bring flowers to the graves of Union Veterans. I’m still convalescing, so I took the liberty of running an old report against the current data in our files. I selected those who served in the Union Army or Navy during the Civil War.

Let’s honor them.
