Mary Jo, Glad to hear that you were able to obtain a new headstone. Its very important that all veterans are recognized both present and past. Thanks for updating us as to the status of your quest and it's nice to hear that someone here may of been able to help you! I wish I lived in a place that I could witness one of these events. I will be content with imagining a solemn ceremony such as this being performed since I live in Washington State and we don't have opportunites (that I'm aware of) to see a ceremony done by the Sons of the Confederacy.
