ME A Confederate Rests In Maine

[Shadow9216]

This is a very touching article, which speaks to the tragedy of war which is common to both sides. The mother's decision to bury another mother's son transcends borders, causes, and ideologies and addresses our shared humanity.

These articles were written decades ago, and I hope that political correctness hasn't spoiled the honor paid to this Stranger and that his flag still flies over his grave.

I can tell you that as of last year the flags were still being placed on the grave.
