No, Vickye, you didn't read it quite right; the government never furnished a CSA marker, or any veteran a marker, if the grave was already marked. What George Bush did was get the law changed so that veterans who died after 9/11 would be furnished veterans' grave markers, even if they already had a private marker.

The family put up a private headstone for he and his wife years ago. A. D. HADLEY no longer qualifys for a CSA marker. Thank you very much George Bush!!!!!!!

If this is true, that George Bush changed the law, so that veterans who died after 9/11 could get markers--Gosh! I guess I got lucky in 1972 when the Government gave my husband a marker for having been in the military.
