The final encampments of the GAR and UCV were held about 1950 and 1951, 85-86 years after the close of their war, the Civil War. I wonder about the organizations of vets of WW I (40/8?); it is now 85-86 years after the close of that war. Although I am young for a WW II vet, I cannot expect to live 85 years after the end of WW II. Bob Doerr in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks
