Young Soldier • 98th Pennsylvania Regimental Monument, Gettysburg, September 2016

My youngest brother is a huge Civil War buff. He customized this old Air Force jacket with the "markings" of a second lieutenant—actually sewing on the buttons and gold braiding himself. Every time we visit Gettysburg (or any other battlefield), he makes a point to wear the jacket and a kepi. Sad will be the day when he grows out of it...

That is such a sweet story and a keepsake photo for sure!
