HEADSTONE DEDICATIONS

Members of the Sons of Veterans Reserve participate in ceremonies to dedicate headstones on graves of Union Veterans of the Civil War. Sometimes this entails providing a new headstone for a previously unmarked  Veteran's grave, and sometimes it entails correcting mistakes on previously marked headstones.
