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

They will be the first three Civil War vets buried at the gap–the oldest war veterans in the cemetery but they almost didn’t make it there.

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.”
