I located the grave of my great-grandfather, who was a Confederate soldier, on the Veterans Administration web site. His widow did receive a pension from the government for his service. Regards, Clark

Still have to laugh at people who think a confederate naval ensign is the symbol of the confederacy, and not "the bonny blue flag that bears a single star"

from an acquaintance which said a law was passed in 1985 that all confederate military people are considered " veterans of the US". Have not researched this yet but wouldn't that make taking down statues illegal? or something?

I've seen this one passed around. https://www.truthorfiction.com/confe...r-federal-law/
