WOW YOUR ONE A KIND TRULY NONE LIKE YOU, EVEN THEIR OWN FAMILY DOESN'T CARE, YOUR A INCREDIBLE PERSON!!!

The bronze marker is attached to the concrete slab via 4 long bolts that screw into 4 threaded lugs on the underside of the marker. The slabs are precast with holes in the right position to match the bronze markers lugs. Slab is 4" thick, Headstones are typically set on a poured in place concrete foundation. The bronze markers are the exception.

God bless you sir

I hope you visit Beth Israel Cemetery in Woodbridge, NJ. My dad's stone has the U.S. Army eagle insignia on it. Thank you so very much for your kindness and for honoring our Veterans!!!!

Thank you. My husband & I were cleaning up my family's grave & my father is also a Veteran. There was a huge weed growing above my family's grave that had been there for years, so my husband started cutting it down and the trunk of that weed was huge. So we he continued cutting it down he hit something so he continued carefully & came upon this Veterans grave. We cleaned around it, but I would like to try & do what you did for this Veteran. I will send a photo to your email

Stone Mountain was done by Borglum, who did Rushmore, but he was dismiseed from Stone Mountain due to Klan infighting and despite his openly racist views on Nordic superiority. The deal with monuments is simple. If they were done in the 25 years after the war, let them be. If they were done after that, as the intimidation arm of Jim Crow, tear them down.

Job well done Thanks you sir

I liked it better when you have the dirt still in the letters. It made it more pronounced

Apparently rich men could buy a replacement to serve for them. Also one white was exempt for every 20 slaves on a plantation. Exempt to oversee the slaves. But yes. It is amazing how many of the male population served and were either killed or wounded. Wounded was a big deal with the lack of care and medications.

God bless you.

Anyway to be a part of your efforts …

Thx you very much. How would i go about forcing a church that has let veteran,s headstones tip over an break. Please help

You’re generally right about “brother vs brother”. As a rule it was where you were. Unless you were along the “border”, much more questionable. Here in MD much more like that. Lots and lots of Rebel sympathy. Even PA had its share of Rebel sympathy and those who would fight as Rebels. The so-called Revolution was much more a civil war wherein neighbors really could be on opposite sides. There tend to be more rebels in the northern New England colonies and more loyalists in the Deep South states, but it was not as clear-cut as with our own so-called civil war.

D2 CEO for sure lol

Outstanding

I had a great great great grand father from the North that fought for the South. His name was Isaac Lane. My grandmother had a picture of him in his uniform ha going in her living room.

I would only suggest having on a pair of safety glasses. ❤

Most do not know we left the Union to avoid a huge federal government control over states rights not slavery at all! Lincoln made it about slavery to help get northerners to fight because they wanted states rights as well! Victors write history! Thanks for giving truth!!

You are wrong about brother against brother, Because in my family that is how it was I have proof. Because in Kentucky they were at first on the union side then switched to the confederate side in 1862. Get you facts straight.

Alot of comments on here talking about minuments to Nazis and Hitler .We do. G Washington Jefferson and all the rest oversaw the Nation were Slavery was practiced.

This conversation needs to be had. I empathize and understand about those monuments for a long time. I grew up seeing the Soldier statue in Alexandria VA in the middle of the street and never felt bothered by it..I believe I have the proper perspective on the war of northern aggression. I think I'm balanced. I'm glad the south lost. At the same time I curse slavery it was wrong to keep the unionn by force. I understand those men fought for their state the sovereign at that time wasn't the federal government.

This guy truly believes this BS, sounds like "very nice people on both sides" , when did the Red Necks learn to read

That's so awesome thank you for doing that! My father is ww2 medic and I hope someone is as nice as you when they see my father's bronze head stone is just like his . Thank you!

Very timely & measured talk. Words have weight. Grace & respect start with ourselves. 🙏🕊️

Look at the country. It’s not even America anymore. Do what you want

O> Thank you from France 🙏✌

You forgot one word also rather than convenient pinning any blame on Southern ppl..then or now....... that word is ignorant.

Exactly....we would still have slavery into the 20th century.... FACT - read Thomas Sowell...and watch his videos.

There are plenty of nazi party decedents still living in Germany. Yet to this day, there is not a single statue of Hitler out in a public space? The same rules need to apply in America throw all this confederate crap in a museum because it has no business representing the American people anymore. It's a disgrace that it hasn't been done already.

Loyalty to State was the norm of the day. Few understood DC as something to even be loyal to.

Soldiers aren't politicians. They serve their families and neighbors. They are guardians. Regardless of popular politics. Soldiers are the majority of our heros. Btw my father's people served from Florida and Georgia. My mother's people did split during the War Between the States because her people are from West Virginia since the Revolution. Statistic: 90 percent of Southerners DID NOT OWN A SINGLE SLAVE. Slaves were the property OF THE RICH. I'm a cousin of some Groovers in Georgia so very likely a cousin of the moderator -although I live in Arkansas.

I am a descendent of a Confederate soldier...who was called by General Lee to find food for his troops during the seige of Petersburg, Va. My gggrandfather was Pvt. Joseph Wesely Crowder.

What an extreme over simplification and an argument for the creation of Civil War monuments. You make no mention of the fact that the south held to its racist beliefs until forced to make changes over 100 years later. Further, you disregard that those monuments may have been a device to propagate those southern beliefs for generations to come. By your logic, monuments could easily have been erected and placed throughout Germany in tribute to their Fuhrer, and all the patriots who died in his army in furtherance of their values. After all, they were just doing their duty. Also you may want to do your homework about the number of Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War, and the number who died as Union soldiers.

If the Union Army soldiers were heroes, how about the Confederate soldiers?

My gg-grandfather died 10/08/1864 in Richmond. He was a member of the 128th Co K of Georgia. They were called the Emanuel Rangers. The toll it had on my family was horrendous. I totally understand what you are talking about.

Many wars in which America participated in were immoral. Our corrupt politicians sent our boy overseas to die in vain.

In two major elections during the 1850s over 2/3 of the Southern People of the Southern Nation voted against slavery hands down!

Where is this cemetery? My last name is behind this stone.

It was brother vs brother in the aspect of scots-irish fighting scots-irish. Brother vs brother is taken too literal.

Thank you 🙏😊🙏

I think you could use a medium floor broom brush to make shorter work of what you do … Just a suggestion 👀😬

Is it legal to do this process in Texas cemetery’s ?

Shreveport was where the Confederate hospitals were at..I am going to walk our beautiful graveyards..My family did fight in the Confederate war,also the Revolutionary War also..

The worst case of abuse of slaves I have ever heard of or read about was in "The Free State of Illinois".

You are correct on the mentality of the people. A state back then, and even sometimes now, was it's own country. Meaning we where citizens of the United Countries. It has been said that Robert E. Lee was a traitor, no he after much anguish decided to fight for his country, Virginia.

What you said in the beginning, I have to disagree with. It may be true in Florida, but necessarily in Tennessee. My ancestors fought on both sides. Some of fighting age did not fight at all. My great grandfather and his father, where both of fighting age, and when the troupes from either side came to conscript people they and many others hid in the cain brakes, while the soldiers from both sides searched for them. Not because of fear, but the need to provide for their families. Some fought for the North, and some fought for the south, from privates on up. One was a Confederate Surgeon. I do agree about Confederate monuments, I don't know the exact reason for them all, but I do know that a great number of them where erected by and for Veterans from both sides, as a means of healing the wounds left from that terrible war. As I study more about this conflict, I find it more and more difficult to fit slavery as the cause of it. Historical facts lead other directions. One being the County I'm from actually voted against succession, and the most outspoken leader of anti succession, was the owner of the largest plantation, with the most slaves. Another is the Black confederate soldiers, made up of both slaves and free Black men. Yes they did exist, and yes they did fight. I know this for one thing the afore mentioned Confederate Surgeon, was assigned to as it was called then, a colored infantry. Slavery may have been used in the north as propaganda, I don't know, but I think it is more due to Hollywood. Confederate Monuments were meant as a healing of a nation, now they are being used as a means of ripping it apart, We all need to study our history, so we know the truth.

🍌🍗🍉🐑Many brothers fought against each other in the civil war.

Fantastic!!❤
