Veteran Soldiers, In Memoriam

Today's veterans, and their comrades no longer with us, should be considered, appreciated and embraced every day. Since this particular Veterans' Day falls also in the 150th anniversary year of the beginning of another terrible war, I decided to list some of my ancestors and our many kin who gave what they had to give, including their lives, in the American Civil War.
