Congrats Linda---I know what a chore you have accomplished.  Our youngest granddaughter, at age 12, decided to do something for a GAR in our little cemetery.  So we spent several hours on-line, in the local museums.  He had a nearly rotted away wooden marker.  We 'rubbed' the board and got a little info.  And from there  it was just dig, dig and more digging.  She was able to come  up with data and about 8 months later the whole school and a few town folks attended the dedication of a wonderful new stone.  The Veterans supplied the stone that she chose from their selections.  The DAR and VFW came and added so much to the ceremony.  A class mate sang the National Anthem a-capella.  Her great-great aunt played TAPS...they were recorded as Auntie was unable to make the trip.  Auntie was a bugler in WWII.  A wonderful day.  Diane
