Civil War Soldier Laid to Rest...

Earlier this year, the unmarked grave of a solider of the Civil War was discovered on a construction site near Franklin, TN. Franklin was the site of a battle on November 30, 1864.

This soldier's remains were laid to rest yesterday in a cemetery. The procession and burial were attended by participants dressed in period uniforms and dress. Many Civil War reenactors took part.

I was there to witness this, and here is video shot of the procession and burial:

That's awesome...a high school buddy of mine was there too. Said it was a great ceremony.

On one hand, it is sad, because it took so long. And yet, it is a happy occasion, because the soldier can finally be laid to rest. I had not heard about this one, but a few years ago, a similar incident happened in Va. I was there for that one, and my re-encatment unit participated in his internment. (I no longer reenact, as we live on the Island of Guam, but at the time I was in the 3rd Va. Vol. Inf).
