Three Civil War veterans buried on property in Cumberland County and neglected for more than a century are now getting the recognition they deserve.

As a boy, Lowel Hassinger walked to the woods behind his house every Veterans Day.
Hassinger says, “My father and I would put flags on the GAR standards.”
