[Boston Herald, Oct. 15, 1886]​
Members of Richmond's Lee Camp, UCV, visited Boston the following year, as guests of John A. Andrew Post #15, GAR.
 
Thanks for sharing such a great story demonstrating the comradeship that these former enemies were able to later enjoy with one another.

Coincidentally, I was walking thru downtown Washington, DC at noon today en-route to a retirement luncheon for a close friend of mine. As I strolled across Pennsylvania Avenue I spotted this Grand Army of the Republic monument that I never even knew existed just 10 blocks from my office. My apologies for the poor photos but the sky was overcast and it was raining.
